Clinical examination revealed the space formation between teeth 24 and 25 (Fig. 1a). Radiographic evaluation revealed a well-circumscribed, low-density, radiolucent lesion between the mandibular central incisors, with spacing between teeth 24 and 25 (Fig. 1b) as well as thinning and expansion of the buccal and lingual cortical plates (Figs. 1c-1e).
Radiograph suggests vertical bone loss and separation of teeth 24 and 25.

Images from the current patient's biopsy specimens are shown in Figs. (2a-2g).
Reconstructed panoramic radiograph shows impacted teeth, missing teeth, and migration of teeth. The mandibular left third molar is
horizontally impacted against the distal surface of the second molar. The root of the molar appears to be irregular, potentially suggesting root
resorption.
