title: Sequential imaging of an impacted mandibular second premolar migrated from angle to condyle.
abstract: Extreme distal migration of impacted teeth to the subcondylar area and condyle is very rare. Using an interesting sequence of radiographs showing the path of the tooth in the mandible, we describe the intrabony migration of a mandibular second premolar from angle to condyle in a young woman. Cone-beam computed tomography was used to establish the precise location of the tooth.
