Methods Based on panoramic radiographs, the teeth were classified as proposed by Pell and Gregory and Winter. The binomial test for proportions with a significance level of 5% was applied. Results Records ConclusionIn this study, the complication rates were low. They were more frequent in… Show more

“…12 Antibiotic prophylaxis decreases risk of suffering infection, localised alveolar osteitis and pain after third-molar extractions in healthy adults [10] . Prior to any surgical procedure, patient must be well know about chances of complications and/or problem may cause during entire treatment, being aware of the fact that any unexpected situation should be dealt with the best possible way [13] .…”

“…Los hombres presentaron mayor grado de impactaciòn de terceros molares superiores comparandolos con las mujeres, esto puede ser debido a que los hombres presentan un mayor diámetro mesio-distal que las mujeres, esos hallazgos también fueron reportados por otros autores (17) los cuales afirmaron que la impactación de terceros molares en hombres puede deberse a factores extrínsecos como el estilo de vida y equilibrio energético, además esos estudios incluyeron, solo pacientes que habían acudido a los centros de practicas de las facultades de odontología, radiografías panorámicas que tuvieran buena calidad y pacientes sin antecedentes de enfermedad medica o quirúrgica que pudieran afectar la presencia o desarrollo de terceros molares, estos criterios de inclusión coinciden con los del presente estudio (14,18). Sin embargo este resultado es contradictorio con lo reportado en la literatura, donde ilustran una predilección en el grado de impactación de terceros molares en el genero femenino, la justificación de ellos es referente a los diferentes patrones de crecimiento, debido a que en las mujeres por lo general cesa en el momento en que los terceros molares superiores e inferiores comienzan a formarse; sin embargo estos estudios no incluyen pacientes que se encuentran en tratamiento de ortodoncia, terceros molares sin formación radicular completa y dientes con condiciones patológicas (19,20).…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Various factors have been proposed to significantly affect infection rates after third molar extractions. These include angulation of the impacted teeth, 6 use of oral contraceptives, 6 multiple extractions (both right and left third molars), 7 female sex, 8 heavy smoking, 9 and the absence of antibiotic prescription. 10 The use of antibiotics to prevent postoperative infection after third molar surgery is highly debated, with systematic reviews and meta-analyses reporting on both the effectiveness and ineffectiveness of antibiotics in preventing infections.…”
