Distomolar teeth are placed at the distal of the third molar teeth. These teeth are also called as supernumerary teeth. Generally, they do not develop completely. Distomolar teeth are mostly found as embedded and they are diagnosed by radiographic examination. They cause different pathologies at neighbor teeth. One of them is pericoronitis. Pericoronitis is a type of gingivitis which is seen around the molar teeth. Pericoronitis can be diagnosed at every age, and it is one important reason of acute diseases. This case report aims to emphasize the clinical findings and the treatment of pericoronitis which is caused by mandibular distomolar tooth.

Özet

Distomolar
dişler 3.molar dişlerin distalinde bulunurlar. Dental arktaki bu fazla olan
dişlere sürnümerer dişler denilmektedir. Bu dişler genellikle tam olarak
gelişemezler. 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.
