Introdouction: Impacted and partially erupted third molars can cause various symptoms and pathologies. The aim of this study was to determine the association between commonly observed pathological conditions and the impaction depth of lower third molar teeth. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, 370 panoramic radiographs including 724 lower third molars were evaluated to asses...

objective: the present study assessed the association of size, axial angulation, developmental stage and bud position of the mandibular third molar with the second molar impaction in patients with mandibular second molar impaction. methods: in this descriptive-analytical study (case-control design), dental records of 5,420 patients in the age range of 12-15 years who underwent orthodontic treat...

Ruminal impaction is considered an important internal disease in ruminants, such as dairy cows, sheep, and goats. It has been reported that its occurrence is associated with many different causes. This study describes a novel case of ruminal impaction caused by a plant, Ficus esquiroliana Levl., in Boer goats. This case suggests that Ficus esquiroliana should be taken into consideration when pr...

Impacted morsellised allografts have been used successfully to address the problem of poor bone stock in revision surgery. However, there are concerns about the transmission of pathogens, the high cost and the shortage of supply of donor bone. Bone-graft extenders, such as tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA), have been developed to minimise the use of donor bone. In a human cadav...

introdouction: the aim of this study was to determine the associations between commonly found pathologic conditions and angulation of the lower third molar teeth. materials and methods: in this retrospective study, 370 panoramic radiographs consisting of 724 lower third molars were evaluated for any pathologies according to their angulation(mesioangular, distoangular, vertical, or horizontal). ...

To evaluate the effect of third molar impaction and impaction-related parameters on development. Panoramic radiographs (N=3972) from 473 males 558 females between 3.2 23.5 years old were analysed. Three examined: hindering contact adjacent second molar, retromolar space availability (only in lower molars), angulation molar. From separate parameters, a definition for was derived. Third molars’ d...

Abstract It is widely accepted that the prevalence of metal hypersensitivity increasing. Furthermore, incidence unerupted mandibular second molars 2.3%, which 0.2% judged to be a result impaction.
