The mandibular angle and condylar regions are most prone to fractures and this has been attributed to the presence/absence or the position of the third molars. This retrospective study was undertaken to analyze the correlation between the third molars and incidence of condylar and angle fractures in 104 patients treated for these fractures during the period from June 2009 to December 2013. Clinical and radiographic records of these patients were studied to look for the presence and position of third molars and their relation to incidence of condylar or angle fractures. There was a definite positive relation to impacted third molars and increased incidence of angle fractures. The condylar fractures were more commonly seen when the third molars were fully erupted or missing. Third molar impactions predispose to angle fractures and missing or fully erupted third molars predispose to condylar fractures.

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.
