Mandibular third molar space in different antero-posterior skeletal patterns.

چکیده
Retromolar space has long been identified as a major factor in the aetiology of mandibular third molar impaction. The aims of this study were to compare mandibular third molar space between the different antero-posterior (A-P) skeletal patterns, between erupted and impacted third molars in the different A-P skeletal patterns, and to report on the status of third molar eruption/impaction among the studied subjects. A total of 432 mandibular third molars in 270 subjects (132 females and 138 males) were investigated from dental pantomograms (DPTs) and lateral cephalograms (LC). The average age for the total sample was 20.80 ± 2.03 years. The subjects were divided into three groups according to their ANB angle as follows: skeletal Class I (144 third molars in 90 subjects), skeletal Class II (145 third molars in 95 subjects), and skeletal Class III (143 third molars in 85 subjects). Each group was subdivided into impacted and erupted subgroups. DPT and LC were traced and the following variables were measured: retromolar space width, third molar width and angulation, β angle, second molar angulation, mandibular length, and gonial angle. Independent t-test, analysis of variance, and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Retromolar space width in the Class III subjects was smaller than in the Class I subjects (P < 0.05). Mandibular third molars were recorded as impacted in 26, 32, and 42 per cent of the Class I, II, and III subjects, respectively (P < 0.001). The impacted groups had a reduced retromolar space width, increased β angle, and reduced third molar angulation in all A-P skeletal patterns. Class III subjects showed increased mandibular third molar impaction with reduced retromolar space width.

متن کاملThe effect of fixed orthodontic treatment with first premolar extraction on mandibular third molars angulation and retromolar space
Introduction: In most orthodontic patients, mandibular 3rd molars are in early stages of calcification, and prediction of eruption status would be difficult during the course of orthodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of first premolar extraction with moderate anchorage on angular changes of third mandibular molar after orthodontic treatment. Materials & Methods...

Background & Objectives: Malocclusion is not a disease but rather a set of dental deviations, which in some cases can influence quality of life. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of various dento–facial anomalies. Methods: In this cross-sectional study in 2006 we assessed a sample of 600 randomly selected schoolchildren, with a mean age of 11.97 years, who were attending seco...
متن کاملVariations in the anatomical dimensions of the mandibular ramus and the presence of third molars: its effect on the sagittal split ramus osteotomy.
The authors undertook a prospective study to evaluate the influence that the anatomical dimensions of the ramus of the mandible and the presence of lower third molar teeth may have on the sagittal split ramus osteotomy. The anatomical dimensions measured included the width of the anterior mandibular ramus, the height of the corpus posterior to the second mandibular molar and the antero-posterio...
متن کاملDisplacement of a mandibular third molar root fragment into the pterygomandibular space.
Displacement of root fragments into adjacent anatomical areas is an uncommon complication of the removal of teeth. This paper describes the management of a mandibular third molar root fragment that was forced into the antero-inferior aspect of the pterygomandibular space. The importance of tomographical radiographs in the visualization of the displaced root is also discussed.
