Distomolar dişler genellikle gömüktürler ve radyografik muayene ile tespit edilirler. Komşu oldukları molar dişlerde değişik patolojilere neden olmaktadırlar. Bunlardan birisi de perikoronitis’tir.

Perikoronitis molar dişlerin etrafında gelişen dişeti iltihabıdır. Her yaşta görülebilir, fakat genç erişkinlerde görülen akut durumların en önemli sebeplerinden sayılır.

Bu olgu sunumunda amaç; genç erişkin bireyde, nadir olarak gözlenen mandibular distomolar dişin eşlik ettiği perikoronitisin klinik bulguları ve tedavisinin ele alınmasıdır.
