Abstract

“Distomolar” is also called as ‘fourth molar’ is the supernumerary tooth occurring distal to the third molar. Occurrence of distomolar is a rare phenomenon. Along with this condition congenital agenesis which is a contrast phenomenon compared to extra teeth is still a rarer entity. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to present occurrence of fourth molar in the mandibular arch and congenital agenesis of all second premolars (four premolars) involving both maxillary and mandibular quadrant in a non-syndromic Indian female patient. Such combination of two different anomalies representing two different dental phenomenon is not reported till date according to author’s best of knowledge.
