Factors predictive of the intensity of local anesthesia in mandibular third-molar surgery: A cross-sectional study

Changes to the delivery of oral surgical services, the production and review of clinical guidelines, increased availability of cross-sectional imaging and the introduction of alternative techniques for surgical management of third molar disease have subtly changed the care that a patient will receive. In reviewing those changes, this article aims to promote continued discussion by the profession as to how patients can be best treated while avoiding a protectionist approach to patient care.

Cervical Vertebral Maturation

Introduction: Growth and development is a dynamic process that is influenced by many factors, this is why children of the same age do not have the same growth rate, therefore growth can not be evaluated only by chronological age, but also by maturation skeletal and dental. Previous research has shown a strong relationship between mandibular length and Cervical Vertebral Maturation (CVM). The aim of the present study was to determine the correlation between mandibular length and mandibular third molar maturation using panoramic radiograph. Methods: This research is an observational analytic cross sectional study. Total 412 panoramic radiographs of 207 male and 205 female aged 9-25 years were evaluated. The mandibular length measured from the point of condylion (Co) to menton (Me). M3 maturation of the mandible was evaluated by Demirjian methods. Results: Spearman non-parametric correlation was used for analysis. A strong correlation was found between mandibular length and third molar development (in males: r=0.705 on the right side and are=0.729 on the left side; in females: are=0.755 on the right side and are=0.707 on the left side) Conclusion: There is a strong correlation between mandibular length and mandibular third molar maturation in both male and female.
