Objective: This study aimed to assess and compare the knowledge and awareness of dental interns and general practitioners in Saudi Arabia about late mandibular incisor crowding. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional study which was conducted between June 2020 and July 2020 in Saudi Arabia and it observed dental practitioners. Results: A total of 275 subjects were included in this study; 172 (62.5%) were dental interns, 157 (57.1%) were females and 211 (76.7%) dentists were aged between 23-26 years. While most general practitioners and dental interns have heard about late mandibular incisors crowding, the majority continue to abstain from not recommending extraction of lower third molar as a means of prevention. Around half of the respondents, 134 (48.7%), claimed that the eruption of lower third molars is a possible causative factor. A greater percentage of general dental practitioners, 32 (31.1%) believed that there is a correlation between late mandibular incisors crowding and cases of relapse after an orthodontic treatment. Moreover, male participants were more knowledgeable of the fact that cases may worsen if not treated (P = 0.019). The knowledge of lower third molars eruption (P = 0.002) and unerupted/impacted lower third molars (P = 0.034) ability to cause late mandibular incisors crowding and the prophylactic extraction of the lower third molars (P = 0.009) were also significantly differed across the various age groups. Conclusion: Late mandibular incisor crowding is one of the main clinical issues in dental practice which has been subject to decreased awareness among dentists. Keywords:Dentists, knowledge, late mandibular incisor crowding, Saudi Arabia.

Abstract: Dental tooth impaction is a state of latent or not erupted or partly erupted after a normal eruption time. The impact of impacted teeth, namely the absence of pain, inflammation, and cysts but the prevalence of impacted teeth in several countries including in Indonesia is quite high. Some areas in Indonesia yet has particularly impacted teeth, especially data on partial erupted. This study aims to determine the prevalence of impacted teeth partially erupted on Totabuan Village community. This research is a descriptive cross sectional study. The study population is villagers Totabuan, the study sample as many as 37 people are 13 men and 24 women aged 24-60 years. Results of studies have impacted teeth partially erupted third molars most women (60%), and more common in the age of 24-35 years (62%). Partially erupted tooth impaction occurs most often in the lower jaw (53%) with most gear position on mesioangular (48.4%).Keywords: dental impaction, partial erupted.Abstrak: Gigi impaksi merupakan suatua keadaan gigi terpendam atau tidak erupsi baik sebagian maupun seluruhnya setelah melewati waktu erupsi normal. Dampak dari gigi impaksi yaitu adanya rasa sakit, inflamasi, serta kista akan tetapi prevalensi gigi impaksi di beberapa negara termasuk di Indonesia cukup tinggi. Beberapa daerah di Indonesia belum meiliki data mengenai gigi impaksi khususnya partial erupted. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi gigi impaksi partial erupted pada masyarakat Desa Totabuan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif dengan rancangan cross sectional study. Populasi penelitian yaitu masyarakat Desa Totabuan, dengan sampel penelitian sebanyak 37 orang yaitu 13 orang laki-laki dan 24 orang perempuan dengan usia 24-60 tahun. Hasil penelitian ditemukan adanya gigi impaksi molar tiga partial erupted paling banyak pada perempuan (60%), dan banyak ditemukan pada usia 24-35 tahun (62%). Gigi impaksi partial erupted paling sering terjadi pada rahang bawah (53%) dengan posisi gigi paling banyak pada mesioangular (48,4%). Berdasarkan penelitian yang telah dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa gigi impaksi molar tiga partial erupted yang paling banyak ditemukan pada perempuan, dan banyak ditemukan pada usia yaitu 24-35 tahun. Gigi impaksi molar tiga partial erupted paling banyak ditemukan pada rahang bawah, dengan posisi gigi paling banyak pada mesioangular.Kata kunci: gigi impaksi, partial erupted.

Objective: To assess the frequency of cysts and tumors around impacted third molars. Study Design and Setting: Cross-sectional study was conducted at the OMFS department, Lahore Medical & Dental College, from August 2015 to January 2018. Methodology: A total of 2057 patients were operated for the removal of 2354 impacted third molars and analyzed for their associated pathological lesions(cysts/tumors). Patients were evaluated with thorough history, clinical and radiological examination. Panoramic and periapical radiographs were primarily used to assess the site of third molar impactions (maxilla/mandible) and their associated pathologies confirmed with histopathological examination. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: The patients’ ages were between 17 to 62 years (Mean±SD, 28.12±8.585). There were n=709 (34.47%) females and n=1348 (65.53%) male with female to male ratio of 1.9:1. The mandibular to maxillary impacted third molars ratio was 1.66:1. An overall frequency of 1.36% for cysts and 0.72% for tumor associated with impacted third molars was demonstrated in the current study. The most frequently diagnosed cyst was dentigerous whereas ameloblastoma was the most commonly identified tumor. Conclusion: A relatively lower frequency (2.08%) of pathological lesions was found around third molars. The study reported a smaller number of pathological lesions affecting a significant minority of patients. It is recommended that a dentist/oral maxillofacial surgeon should be consulted at the earliest if any symptoms in the third molar region arise along with imaging of the area.
