title: Three-dimensional evaluation of a rare case with multiple impacted teeth using CT.
abstract: A 15-year-old patient is presented with 11 impacted teeth including 2 supernumerary teeth, who did not exhibit hereditary or clinical disease. The patient showed the extruded and lingually inclined lower incisors, the anteriorly inclined palatal plane, extremely large curve of Spee, and crowding in the bone. A detailed description of the positional relationship between each impacted tooth and the neighboring tooth was given using the 3D CT-image.
