The Relationship

Abstract OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between the presence and dynamics of mandibular third molar development and the occurrence and amount of late mandibular incisor crowding. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Dental plaster casts and panoramic radiographs of 72 orthodontically untreated subjects from the Nittedal growth study, Norway were analysed. The subjects were recalled for check-up at 12, 15, 18 and 21 years of age. Mandibular incisor crowding was assessed using the Little’s irregularity index and dental maturation of the third molars by the Cameriere’s index.RESULTS: The majority of the subjects (64%) had ≥1mm increase in irregularity; 22% experienced increase of 0.1-0.9mm and 14% had unchanged or decreased irregularity. Incisor irregularity increased with age, regardless of absence or presence of third molars. The amount of change in incisor irregularity from 12 to 21 years did not differ significantly between subjects with hypodontia of third molars, extraction and those with third molars present. No differences were observed between erupted, unerupted or impacted third molars. No correlation was found between the amount of change in irregularity and maturation of the third molars.CONCLUSIONS: Occurrence and amount of mandibular late incisor crowding is not significantly influenced by presence or development dynamics of mandibular third molars.

The Relationship

The objective of this study is to discuss problems associated with dental retention through three clinical cases of mandible fractures related to the presence of retained lower third molars, emphasizing the possibility of mandible fractures resulting from this or from the extraction procedure. The three evaluated patients had a fracture in the mandible angle. The third molars were present in all the cases, as was the relationship of the fracture with the teeth. After evaluating the three cases and reviewing literature, it is believed that the presence of the retained lower third molars and the surgical procedures for their extraction increase the risk of mandible angle fractures.
