Abstract
The term “kissing molars†was first used by Van Hoof in 1973 for teeth which have occlusal surfaces in close approximation to each other contained in a single follicular space and roots pointing in opposite directions. This is a case of a 18 year old female patient who presented with complaints of left mandibular molar pain since last 1 year. Patient was treated by surgical extraction of kissing molars and post-operative period was uneventful.
