INTRODUCTION: The objective of this clinical case report is to describe the presence of bilateral fourth molars. The occurrence of supernumerary teeth (ST) is a relatively unusual dental anomaly. It is even more unusual to find patients with distomolar teeth also denominated fourth molar teeth. PRESENTATION OF THE CASE: This article describes a clinical case of a 24-year-old patient presenting with a maxillary fourth molar, who was diagnosed by dental x-ray, and surgical resolution of the case. CONCLUSION: Tooth extraction surgery was the clinical procedure chosen to treat the impacted tooth.
