Correlation of Impaction of Mandibular Third Molars with Sagittal Dimension of Face
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: The mandibular third molar is one of the most common teeth to get impacted. The etiology of non eruption of mandibular third molar has been attributed to various factors. The present study intends to evaluate the sagittal dimension of facial skeleton of patients with impacted mandibular third molar and their correlation. The aim and objectives of this study was to find out the correlation between various sagittal parameters of face with impaction of mandibular third molar. Material and methods: The radiographs of 66 patients having bilateral impacted mandibular third molars were collected after applying different exclusion and inclusion criteria. Lateral cephalograms were traced and cephalometric parameters were noted. Third molar angulations and retromolar space distal to mandibular third molar were also noted. Result: The result shows the mean retromolar spaces were significantly lesser in skeletal class III cases compared to class I and II. The mean effective length of mandible was more in skeletal Class III cases and this was statistically significant in comparison to Class I and Class II cases. Conclusion: The author concludes that the sagittal parameters of maxillary and mandibular region have no correlation with the impaction of mandibular third molars.
