Resumo

The presence of third ectopic or heterotopic molars is not frequent. We present a clinical case of a third ectopic molar located in the angle of the mandible and associated with a dentigerous cyst in a 68-year-old patient, which was extracted through the skin and we conducted a literature review to try to learn the most important aspects of these retentions such as etiology, clinical symptoms and most appropriate treatment.
