Mandibular Third Molar

Yesterday I posted an image of Maxillary Third Molar (wisdom tooth of upper jaw), which I had it removed recently . Today I have managed to take a macro shot of Mandibular Third Molar (wisdom tooth of lower jaw). This one was developed horizontally and I had to surgically remove it around 10 years ago.

The ones on the upper jaw have one leg and those on lower jaw usually have two and therefore bigger in size.

Because it was always under skin, it has no cavity, but they had to break it into small parts to extract it. Later I managed to put the pieces together and make it a whole again.
