Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Mandibular second molar impaction is a rare but challenging dental anomaly.
  • Treatment often involves surgical exposure and orthodontic eruption, requiring precise appliance design for controlled tooth movement and minimal side effects.

Observation:

  • A case report details a severe, bilateral mandibular second molar impaction in an adolescent female.
  • The impaction presented significant challenges for standard treatment modalities.

Findings:

  • Successful treatment was achieved using a miniplate as skeletal anchorage.
  • This method provided effective control over tooth movement during orthodontic eruption.

Implications:

  • Miniplate skeletal anchorage offers a viable and successful treatment option for severe mandibular second molar impactions.
