Even while certain forms of mandibular impactions (such as inverted molars) might be considered unusual findings, mandibular impacted teeth are really one of the most regularly seen dental abnormalities. Two female patients' mandibular third molars were discovered to be inverted during a regular inspection, and two such examples are reported here in this article. Both patients underwent routine radiographic examination. Cone beam computed tomography and orthopantomogram were requested to evaluate the state of the bone and to check for any abnormalities, and inverted impacted teeth were discovered. A tooth is said to be inversed when it is placed reversed and seated upside down. Ascending ramus is the most common site for third molars in the mandible. It is also possible for a maxillary tooth to get impacted and for the tooth to be pushed all the way to the orbit's floor, though mandibular impacted teeth are more common. Only a few cases of inverted and impacted mandibular third molars have been reported in the literature. No definitive treatment protocols exist for the removal of inverted teeth. The safest protocol is conservative treatment in which the teeth are not extracted until they produce pathological signs.
