Abstract

[b]Aim.[/b] To estimate in population of aged 8-18 years children the presence of the third molars tooth buds. Detailed aims were: percentage evaluation of their presence in the group aged 8-9, in the group aged 10-18 years, the assessment of presence frequency of third molar agenesis, assessment of the stage of development of the tooth buds, and examine the correlation between the degree of their formation in relations to age. [b]Material and methods[/b]. The material of study was composed of 500 pantomograms of patients aged 8 - 18 years, 229 girls and 271 boys, where percentage of children without buds and development phases of 1189 buds were evaluated. Analyzed material was divided into two subgroups. The first subgroup consisted of 119 children 8-9 years old, second – 381 patients 10-18 years old. In the first subgroup were evaluated the % presence of the third molar buds. In the second subgroup were evaluated the presence or absence of third molar buds.
