A bstract — Failure of eruption of all left maxillary molars in a twelve‐year‐old girl was found on radiographic examination to be associated with an odontome. Examination surgically indicated its removal together with the unerupted molars. The possibility of transplanting a third molar from another site is to be explored later.
