Evidence that ectopic upper third molars can result in upper second molar impactions: A case series.

Introduction: The aim of these four case reports was to illustrate the presence of potential upper second molar impactions associated with ectopic third molars and to highlight that some cases have an atypical radiographic presentation.

Case Presentations: Four patients (age range = 7-12 years) with various malocclusions presented to the paediatric and orthodontic departments for treatment to address their presenting complaints. Incidental radiographic findings demonstrated potentially impacted upper second molars associated with ectopic third molars.
