Abstract
’Kissing molars’, were described by Van Hoof in 1973 as when the
occlusal surfaces of impacted molars are united by the same follicular
space and the roots point in the opposite
direction[1]. There are very few published cases
in the literature, it is an extremely rare form of impaction.
This report describes a case of bilateral kissing molars in a 20 year
old male presenting to a department of Oral & Maxillofacial surgery in
Glasgow. There is limited guidance detailing the management of this
clinical presentation. Surgical management options are discussed
alongside the treatment carried out for the patient.
