"wisdom tooth"

This dental x-ray of a badly algined (mispositioned) wisdom tooth is badly carious and clinically it was found to be nerve-exposed. The empty space in front of this molar denotes the area from where a badly mutilated with caries second molar tooth was extracted a few months ago.

It reminds us that at times third molars have a notorious value!
