Dental literature is replete with cases of supernumerary mandibular premolar and unicystic ameloblastoma as separate entities but to our knowledge the present clinical scenario of unicystic ameloblastoma associated with impacted supernumerary premolar was rarely reported. The purpose of this article is to report a patient who presented with pain and swelling of the left mandible of five months' duration. Following clinical evaluation and radiological examination a diagnosis of a rare case of mandibular supernumerary premolar associated with unicystic ameloblastoma was made. The tumor was excised and mandibular reconstruction done. |
