This session will address the assessment of ectopic molars.

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • assess a patient presenting with ectopic molars
  • carry out the dental assessment of ectopic molars and the use of specific indications for additional tests
  • list the indications for removal of ectopic molars

A tooth is ectopic if it is malpositioned due to congenital factors or displaced by the presence of pathology. Impaction is an outdated term that is descriptive but has limited clinical significance. Impaction alone is not an indication for surgery for any tooth.
