ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the incidence of complications in a group of 171 patients in whom extractions of impacted mandibular third molar have been performed by two oral surgeons between the period April 2010 and March 2012. This retrospective study comprises evaluation of 270 impacted mandibular third molars which were classified into two groups A and B on the basis of procedure of osteotomy only and osteotomy and odontotomy both respectively. Total no of complications reported were 40 (14.81%). Maximum no of cases reported alveolar osteitis (AO) (11.11%) while other complications reported root tip fractures (2.22%), lingual nerve parasthesia and TMJ problems (each 0.74%) in descending frequency. Conclusion drawn is that the risk of complications in extractions of impacted mandibular third molars always exists, and extractions associated with both osteotomy and odontotomy are associated with higher risk of complications.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to study the incidence of complications associated with the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars in a single center. Material and Methods: A single center retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at NSVK Sri Venkateshwara Dental College and Hospital located in Bannerughatta, Bengaluru. The study included patients between the ages of 15–60 years who had undergone surgical extraction of one or more mandibular third molar and had a difficulty score between 3 and 6 (Pederson’s difficulty index). During the course of study variables such as age, gender, impacted side, difficulty index, medical, and habit history along with complications and medications were recorded and accessed from the patient’s case history reports. In due course of the study, these variables were analyzed and correlated using descriptive analysis, Chi-square test, Contingency test, and regression analysis to understand whether or not these variables play an important role in aggravating post-extraction complications for mandibular third molars. Results: The study sample was composed of 250 patients with 52% female and 48% male with a mean age of 34 years. The complication rate observed was 7.6%, there was a statistically significant co-relation seen between gender (P = 0.016), age groups (p<0.05), spatial relationship (P = 0.019), and medical history (P = 0.016) when compared to the complications observed. The most common complications observed were trismus/muscle spasm followed by dry socket. However, the cases of neurosensory complications were extremely rare. Conclusion: There was a significant association to be found between the complication-rate and gender. Conditions such as muscle spasms/trismus and dry socket had a significant predilection toward the males while complications associated with neurosensory changes were commonly seen in females. There was also a significant association between habit history and rate of complication especially in conditions such as dry-socket where all the observed cases had positive history of tobacco/pan chewing habit. Interestingly all the males who complained of dry socket also had reported medical history of type (2) diabetes. Patients with complications such as neurosensory changes were few and could have been prevented with good surgical skills and precision; moreover, even if they were found they were temporary and treated with regular follow-ups.

ABSTRACT Introduction The most commonly impacted tooth in the oral cavity is the mandibular third molar. Various etiologic factors have been suggested for impacted mandibular third molars. The pattern and prevalence of impacted mandibular third molars vary with different population and region. This study throws light on the prevalence and pattern of impacted mandibular third molars in Eritrea, East Africa. This is the first reported study regarding the same from Eritrea. Aim To assess the prevalence and pattern of impacted mandibular third molars in the population of Eritrea, East Africa by conducting a retrospective study from January 2009 to January 2014. Materials and methods This study was conducted in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Orotta School of Medicine and Dental Medicine and the Orotta Referral Medical and Surgical Hospital, Asmara, Eritrea. A total of 1,813 clinical and radiographic records [orthopantomograms] were assessed and 276 cases were selected for the study as per the inclusion criteria. They were evaluated for the frequency among the various age groups, gender and region along with the sides affected, angulation and level of impaction. The presence of systemic conditions and associated pathologies was also assessed according to the type of impaction. Results The average age of these patients in the study was found to be 30 years, with the 20 to 30 years age group being the most affected (67.4%). Females (53.3%) were affected more than the males (46.7%). People from the Asmara region showed significantly more prevalence (79.7%) than the adjoining areas (20.3%). Mesioangular impaction was the most common angulation with a definite relationship to the age groups (p = 0.032). The level of impaction had no significant relationship to the age groups, gender, or region, although class I position A was found to be the most common type. Mesioangular class I position A impaction showed an apparent relationship with underlying systemic conditions, but it was statistically insignificant. Mesioangular impaction was found to be associated with the most number of pathologies (p = 0.001). Conclusion The prevalence of mandibular impaction was less in Eritrea (15.2%) compared with other populations. This study provides useful baseline data for the prevalence and pattern of mandibular impaction in the Eritrean population. Clinical significance This study throws light on the pattern, type, and frequency of mandibular impacted teeth as per age, sex, and region among the population of Eritrea.
