Abstract

Inverted impaction of mandibular premolars is reported to be rare; its prevalence has not been quantified. Here we report a case in which a 12-year-old female presented with an inverted impacted manibular premolar associated with a dentigerous cyst. The likely aetiology and management of this condition is discussed.
