It might cause complication such as caries, perio dental disease,
and delay or impaction of permanent teeth. Supernumerary tooth
or hyperdontia is not as common as hypodontia. The prevalence

.5% to 5.3% with geographic variation. The fourth molar is a
kind of supernumerary tooth that have been classified as a type
of paramolar or distomolars tooth. This is a case report of a 20
years old female patient (medically fit) who came to the dental
clinic complaining of pain in the lower right quadrant upon clinical
examination and routine radiographic examination revealed
impacted third molar and unerupted bilateral mandibular fourth
molar orthopantogram (OPG). X-ray showed this rare case of

what condition shall we keep the fourth molar or extracted.
