Objective: This study aims to evaluate association of impacted lower third molars with incidence of ipsilateral mandibular angle and condylar fractures. Study design: Observational study. Place of study: Maxillofacial Surgery Department Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry Materials and methods: Patients reporting to armed forces institute of dentistry maxillofacial surgery department OPD were diagnosed on the basis of history, clinical signs and symptoms and radiological examinations were categorized as Mandibular Angle and Condylar fractures and impacted lower third molars. A total number of 234 radiographs of patients were examined. Duration of study: 01 year from 01 January 2019 to 31st December 2019. Results: Out of total sample size of 234 patients, 70% (79 patients) Mandibular angle fractures occurred with patients with impacted lower third molars (112 patients) and 65% (80 patients) mandibular condylar fractures occurred with patients without impacted lower third molars (122 patients). Statistically significant P-value was 0.000 that is <0.05 that signifies positive correlation of impacted mandibular third molars to cause ipsilateral mandibular angle fractures and indirectly preventing condylar fractures. Conclusion: Patients that do not have impacted lower third molars are more prone to suffer Condylar fractures in case of mandibular trauma which is associated with more postoperative risks and morbidity as compared to mandibular angle fractures that occur more commonly in patients with impacted lower third molars. As mandibular fractures are common, practice for prophylactic removal of lower third molars should be discontinued.

Abstract Background the position and angulation of mandibular third molars have both been found to influence the angle and condylar fractures. Objective: To identify whether there is an association between the depth and angulation of third molar impaction and the relative risk of fracture of the mandibular angle and condyle. Method Four-hundred and eighty-two panoramic dental radiographs were assessed for the period from January 2012 to June 2020. The study variables included the presence of mandibular third molars, position and angulation. The outcome variables were angle and condylar fractures. Results the mean age was 28.5 years (range 15-89) and 93.2% (n = 499) were male. Angle fractures were significantly more frequent with an impacted wisdom tooth (M3) ( p = 0.023) whereas condylar fractures were more commonly associated with a fully erupted M3. The highest incidence of angle fractures was observed with wisdom teeth classified as class II ( p = 0.026) and position B ( p = 0.05). In contrast, class I wisdom molars were more frequently associated with condylar fractures. With regards to the angulation of wisdom teeth, angles between 80 o – 100 o were highly correlated with angle fractures ( p = 0.020) whereas M3 angulations of 60 o – 80 o were related to condylar injuries (p = 0.025). Conclusions fractures of the mandibular angle were significantly associated with Class II and position B wisdom teeth whereas class I third molars were associated with fracture of the condyles. The likelihood of angle and condylar fractures almost doubled when M3 angulations were (80-100) and (60-80) respectively.

The purpose of this study was to test the effect of the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars using piezosurgery versus the conventional surgical technique on postoperative sequelae and bone healing.Material and Methods.This study was carried out as a randomized controlled clinical trial: split mouth design. Twenty patients with bilateral mandibular third molar mesioangular impaction class II position B indicated for surgical extraction were treated randomly using either the piezosurgery or the conventional bur technique on each site. Duration of the procedure, postoperative edema, trismus, pain, healing, and bone density and quantity were evaluated up to 6 months postoperatively.Results.Test and control sites were compared using pairedt-test. There was statistical significance in reduction of pain and swelling in test sites, where the time of the procedure was statistically increased in test site. For bone quantity and quality, statistical difference was found where test site showed better results.Conclusion.Piezosurgery technique improves quality of patient’s life in form of decrease of postoperative pain, trismus, and swelling. Furthermore, it enhances bone quality within the extraction socket and bone quantity along the distal aspect of the mandibular second molar.
