PURPOSE The aim of this study was to document the position and course of the mandibular canal through the region of the mandibular angle and body in dental patients, using cone beam computed tomographic imaging. METHODS The position and course of the mandibular canal from the region of the third molar to the first molar were measured at five specific locations in the same plane: at three diff...

introdouction: impacted and partially erupted third molars can cause various symptoms and pathologies. the aim of this study was to determine the association between commonly observed pathological conditions and the impaction depth of lower third molar teeth. materials and methods: in this retrospective study, 370 panoramic radiographs including 724 lower third molars were evaluated to assess s...

objective: extraction of premolars is believed to affect the eruption of third molars. this comparative study aimed to assess the change in angulation of third molars following first/second premolar extraction versus non-extraction orthodontic treatments. methods: this historical cohort study was conducted on patients assigned to three treatment groups: extraction of mandibular first premolars ...

Surgical removal of the mandibular third molars is one of the most common procedures performed by dentists, as well as by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Accidental displacement of teeth or roots into the fascial spaces, during surgical removal of the mandibular third molars, is a rare, but serious complication. Herein, we present 2 cases of iatrogenically displaced mandibular third molar root...

Data using SPSS...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to estimate how is the magnitude of the impact of a mandibular third molar on the mandibular angle stiffness. STUDY DESIGN It was performed a literature search on whole MEDLINE and LILACS data base to find articles that match the following inclusion criteria: cohort studies presenting data on patients with mandibular fractures and third molars; that had ...
