Tooth autotransplantation is a procedure which provides the extraction of an erupted or impacted tooth and its repositioning to another site in the oral cavity. This Case Report describes a successful case of two autotransplantations of open-apex mandibular third molars in place of the hopeless first mandibular molars with the use of L-PRF in a growing patient. A 15-year-old male patient was referred to the Dental Clinic for the extractions of the two hopeless mandibular first molars. Autotransplantation was considered the best treatment option for both sites 36 and 46, because the presence of two impacted mandibular third molars (38 and 48) with an incomplete root formation. Teeth 36 and 46 were extracted and replaced with teeth 38 and 48. The patient had an uneventful healing. At follow-up visits, the two autotransplanted teeth showed physiologic mobility, absence of inflammation and discomfort, and absence of infection; probing depth values were within normal range, and the vitality tests were positive. After 2 years, the teeth in position 36 and 46 showed absence of infection and mobility, and positive pulp vitality tests and the radiographic examinations exhibited closure of the root apices as well as absence of any periapical radiolucency or root resorption. Tooth autotransplantation is a good treatment option in case of tooth loss offering an alternative to traditional or implant-supported prosthesis especially for growing patients.

Introduction: Diagnosis and management of impacted mandibular third molars call for a cogent appraisal and treatment choice both for the sick person and the dental practitioner. This academic work scrutinized the pattern as well as treatment of impacted mandibular third molars at the Teem Clinic and Dental Centre, Ekpan, Delta State, in Nigeria.Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional survey involved 131 cases who reported impacted mandibular third molars. The age, gender, impacted tooth, type of impaction, pathological conditions, and treatment proffered were recorded.Results: The male to female ratio was 0.8:1, with an age range of 10 to 40 years. Of the lower third molar impactions 58 (42.0%) were mesioangular, 5 (3.6%) horizontal, 18 (13.0%) vertical and 57 (41.3%) were distoangular. A total of 47 (34.1%) quested for dental attention following varying degrees of pain induced by pericoronitis. Teeth removal was accomplished for 76 (55.0%) owing to carious lesions on the impacted teeth, proximate tooth, or both. Surgical extraction was the option taken in 69 (50.0 %) with caries on the impacted teeth while 3 (2.2%) had to pull out of their teeth done owing to carious lesions on the bordering second molars. In 3 (2.2%) both the impacted third molar and the proximate second molar were decayed. Conclusions: The prevailing indication for pulling out impacted mandibular third molars was acute pericoronitis. Mesioangular sort of impaction was most recurrent and ought to be considered for theplausibility of frequentness of complications.

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Mandibular third molar is the most commonly impacted tooth, and its removal is a frequently performed dentoalveolar procedure. It is important to know the prevalence rate in a particular community.</p><p><strong>Objective:</strong> This article aims at evaluation of angulation, ramus relationship and depth of impacted mandibular third molars among patients visiting a private dental clinic in Sultanpur Lodhi.</p><p><strong>Methodology:</strong> 150 patients presenting with 228 cases of lower third molar impaction were included within this study. IOPAR and where necessary, OPG was used for radiographic assessment. Age, sex and tooth number were recorded in each patient on a specially designed performa. Angulation was determined using winter’s method whereas assessment of ramus relationship and depth was done using Pell and Gregory's method.</p><p><strong>Results and Conclusion: </strong>The age of patients ranged from 21-43 years with mean age of 26.6 years. Males showed preponderance to mandibular M3 impaction (54%) in our study, and right side was found more frequently involved (53%). Radiographic assessment revealed that mesioangular impaction (45.2%) was the most prevalent angular pattern followed by vertical, distoangular and horizontal types, and Class 2 Position A (29.4%) most common and Class 1 Position C the least common type of impaction depth and ramus relationship.</p>

A supernumerary tooth is that which is present additionally to the normal series and can be found in any region of the dental arch. An impacted tooth is defined as the one which is embedded in the alveolus, so that its eruption is prevented, or the tooth is locked in position by bone or the adjacent teeth. The occurrence of multiple supernumerary teeth in only one patient in the absence of an associated systemic condition or syndrome is considered as a rare phenomenon. The occurrence of supernumerary teeth in the lower molar region is rare. A prevalence of less than 2% of cases occurring in this region has been estimated. Their occurrence presents a clinical problem for orthodontists and oral surgeons. The cause, frequency, complications, and surgical operation of impacted teeth are always interesting subjects for study and research. An impacted tooth can result in caries, pulp disease, periapical and periodontal disease, temporomandibular joint disorder, infection of the fascial space, root resorption of the adjacent tooth, and even oral and maxillofacial tumours. The management of impacted wisdom teeth has changed over the past 20 years from removal of nonsymptomatic third molars to simple observation. The aim of this paper is to present a rare case of bilateral multiple impacted supernumerary mandibular third molars.

Background: Third molar is the most commonly impacted tooth in the oral cavity and accounts for large of all impactions. The most common complication in the extraction of the third mandibular molars is nerve and vessels damage. Therefore, thorough radiographic assessment is a necessary to avoid these surgical complications. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency, angulation, depth of the impacted mandibular third molars and its relationship with ramus on radiographs. Materials and Methods: This study comprised 800 orthopantomograms (OPGs) of patients attending different dental clinics and hospitals in Rangpur region, Bangladesh between June 2014 to May 2015. Panoromic Radiographic assessment was carried out to evaluate the pattern of third molar impaction in terms of age, gender, angulation of impaction, level of eruption and available retromolar space using panoramic radiographs and Pell & Gregory classification. Results: A total of 314 radiographic third molar areas were found in this study, out of them 137 belong to male patients and 177 belong to the female patients. The mesio angular types of angulation was most prevalent (46%) whereas distoangular was rare (5%) in our study. In relation to anterior border of the ramus of mandible Level B 52% and Class II 59% were the most common pattern of impaction. The female tends to be dominant as compared to male & the maximum number (35%) of impacted third molars are found in an age group of 38 years and above. Conclusion: Panoramic radiographs can be used as reliable investigation for evaluation of impacted mandibular third molar. KYAMC Journal.2021;12(01): 08-13

Background: The extraction of an impacted mandibular third molar (MTM), with associated pathologies or clinical manifestations is an important and one of the most frequent decisions in dentistry. The angle formed by the longitudinal axis of second and third molar is used to determine angulation of impacted MTM. The aim of this study was to identify the pattern of angulations of impacted mandibular third molar and common indications for extraction associated with these angulations.Material and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Khyber Medical University Institute of Dental Sciences, Kohat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) from November 2017 to July 2018. A total of 349 patients presenting with impacted mandibular third molars were included in this study. Name, age, gender, address, the angulation of the impacted tooth and the indication for extraction of the impacted tooth were recorded. Data comprising of qualitative and quantitative variables were analyzed using SPSS version 17.Results: Out of 349 patients, 206 were male and 143 females, with the male to female ratio of 1.4:1. The age range of the patients was from 18 years to 60 years with a mean age of 26 ± 6 years. The most common age group with impacted third molar was ≤ 25 years followed by 26 to 30 years’ age group. The most common angulation was mesioangular followed by vertical, horizontal and distoangular impacted mandibular third molar. Pericoronitis was the most common indication for extraction in all angulations except horizontal impaction where root resorption of the second molar was more common.Conclusion: Mesioangular is the most common angulation in impacted mandibular third molars. Pericoronitis is the main indication for all angulations of impacted mandibular third molars except horizontal angulation, occurring mostly in the third decade of life.

Surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars are the most commonly performed minor surgical procedures by maxillofacial surgeon. If not treated can lead to few complications like pericoronitis, root resorption of second molar, caries of second molar, cyst and tumours can arise from them. The common complications include swelling, hematoma, trismus and lingual nerve injuries. In this article 1000 cases of various types impactions were surgically operated and assessment of lingual nerve injury was done.
