Aim: The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the radiographs of the region of the third molar teeth in adults who presented with various complaints. The impaction status of these teeth was examined according to the positions shown, gender and the jaw. Methodology: A retrospective evaluation was made of the panoramic radiographs of a total of 664 patients, comprising 341 males and 323 females with a mean age of 23.96 years (range, 17-35 years). The impaction status and position were examined in a total of 1331 third molar teeth; 456 maxillary and 875 mandibular. Results: Of the 875 mandibular third molar teeth, 545 were seen to be in a vertical position, 234 were mesioangular, 54 distoangular, 32 horizontal and 10 buccoangular. Of the 456 maxillary third molar teeth, 322 were seen to be in a vertical position, 71 were mesioangular, 47 distoangular, 5 horizontal and 11 buccoangular. In the examination of the impaction status of the third molar teeth, there was seen to be more impaction of teeth in the mandible than in the maxilla. The most frequent impaction position of maxillary third molar teeth was vertical (70.61%) followed by mesioangular (15.57%), and in mandibular teeth, the most frequent impaction position was vertical (62.28%) followed by mesioangular (26.74%). Conclusions: In conclusion, it can be said that when third molar teeth are impacted which may cause pathologies, the negative effects of these must be taken into consideration.   How to cite this article: Çolak M.

Abstract Objectives The aim was to evaluate the characteristics of the mandibular third molars, especially in relation to the inferior alveolar nerve. Further aims were to investigate incidental findings in panoramic radiographs in an adult population, and to investigate image quality related to patient positioning. Materials and Methods From a previous study with 451 randomly selected adult participants who lived in Sweden, 442 panoramic radiographs from four dental public health clinics were used. The third molars’ characteristics and relation to inferior alveolar nerve were evaluated. Incidental findings and patient positioning were recorded. Statistical Analysis Frequency analysis was used to investigate the occurrence of all findings and their possible interconnections. Whether the patients’ age or gender had an impact or not was also analyzed. Results The third molars were erupted in vertical position among 73% regardless of age. When retained or semi-retained, they were most commonly in mesioangular positions. The inferior alveolar nerve was located inferior to the roots in 52%, whereas an overlapped position was most common if the third molar was retained (90%), semi-retained (83%) or the age was less than 30 years (66%). Common incidental findings were apical radiolucencies, idiopathic osteosclerosis, and tooth fragments. Suboptimal patient positioning was found in one-third of the radiographs. Conclusions Panoramic radiography is a useful method to evaluate third molar prior to surgical removal and may be the only image required. Most incidental findings on panoramic radiographs does not seem to require any further odontological management.

ABSTRACTAdenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare tumor comprising only 3% of all odontogenic tumors. It is a benign, encapsulated, noninvasive, nonaggressive, slowly growing odontogenic lesion associated with an impacted tooth. These lesions may go unnoticed for years. The usual treatment is enucleation and curettage, and the lesion does not recur. Here, we present a rare case of an unusually large aggressive AOT of maxilla associated with impacted third molar. The authors also discuss clinical, radiographic, histopathologic, and therapeutic features of the case. Subtotal maxillectomy with simultaneous reconstruction of the surgical defect with temporalis myofascial flap was planned and carried out.

The Oblique Lateral Jaw Radiograph has been used as a routine diagnostic x-ray view for many years as an aid to orthodontic diagnosis and for the assessment of the positions of unerupted third molar teeth. Many methods for obtaining clear undistorted views of the teeth have been suggested from a freehand setting up of film, patient and x-ray tube, to the use of simple orientated devices. The present article describes a method of standardizing the relationship of film and x-ray tube to one another so that it is only necessary for the radiographer thereafter to place the patient on the film area in a manner depending on whether a view. is required of the third molars only or of the complete upper and lower buccal segments.

At the beginning of the growth, tooth inclination is mesioangular, then move gradually to come into contact with thedistal surface of the second molar and further commit to sliding movement parallel to second molar axis. This positionwill be retained to achieve the eruption way to oral cavity. However, the last decade reported incidence increasedimpaction of the third molar teeth in the lower jaw. This study was aimed to study the level of pre-eruption of mandibularthird molar in the population group aged 14-17 years to predict the risk of tooth impaction or not. Differentiatedpopulations on cluster I, age 14-15 years old; group II, 15.1-16 years old; and group III 16.1-17 years old. Researchcarried out by clinical observation and measurement of at Department of Radiology in Jember University with 48people selected based on predetermined criteria. X-ray projection was exposed by paralleling technique on the lowerthird molar teeth, left and right. The results showed 43.75% of 14-15 year old group had the third molar angle interval50-56°; 15.1-16 year age group, 80% have 57-70° angle interval, and 16.1-17 years age group, 46.67% has angularinterval 64-70°. It was concluded that a large interval of the third molar angle increase due to the increased of age,and the angle is different between groups based on gender.

AbstractThere have been infrequent case reports of bilateral root resorption in the lower second molar secondary from impacted third molar removal with bone regeneration without pain. Root resorption is commonly observed during third molar surgical impaction that affects mandibular second molars. The bone regeneration into the adjacent affected tooth is evident simply after the surgical extraction of the impacted tooth. However, there have been a few previous reports on the prognosis of the remaining resorbed tooth. Most dentists often choose to extract them when damaged if root resorption is observed. This report case involved bilateral root resorption of the lower second molar due to lower adjacent impacted third molar teeth and bone regeneration without pain sensation. After surgical extraction of bilateral lower impacted third molar teeth, the remaining teeth retained vital pulp and survived as functional teeth.
