In this case report, a mature third mandibular molar was transplanted in the socket of a hopeless first mandibular molar of the same quadrant. A 32-year-old woman was diagnosed with strip perforation of her left first lower molar. Orthograde and retrograde treatments were unsuccessful. The tooth was extracted and replaced by the third molar of the same quadrant. Following transplantation, the t...

This is a rare case of amalgam allocation in an alveolar wound of an extracted third molar. During the extraction of a mandibular third molar to a 36-year-old woman, the adjacent mandibular second molar was broken. The dentist decided to put an amalgam filling to the mandibular second molar directly after the extraction and during the same appointment. The patient soon experienced an acute cont...

Third molar eruption is an unpredictable event. Occasionally, mandibular third molars undergo angular changes in young adults. This rotational drift is of unknown etiology, is not predictable and may facilitate the eruption or may make the im-paction worse. A rare case is presented with severe rotational drift of a mesioangularly impacted mandibular third molar.

introduction:there are conflicting reports on the effects of surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars on the periodontium of the adjacent teeth. the aim of this study was to compare the condition of the periodontium six months after extraction of impacted mandibular third molars with baseline values. methods: fifty patients with mesioangular impacted mandibular third molarsparticipa...

Previous studies have suggested methods for predicting third molar tooth eruption radiographically. Still, this prediction is associated with uncertainty. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the association between cephalometric measurements on profile and panoramic radiographs and to find a simple and reliable method for predicting the eruption of the mandibular third molar by measur...
