“…The present study reported the highest prevalence of pericoronitis among the age group of 20-25 years with 75.2% which was in accordance with the study by Ayanbadejo et al (Ayanbadejo and Umesi-Koleoso, 2008), reporting the peak period being 19-23 years. Kalsaron et al (Katsarou et al, 2019), showed the peak period as between 20-25 years with 72.41% and Trvelan Treventanov et al (Tsvetanov, 2018), with a report showing 55.2% of the prevalence of pericoronitis occurring at the age group of 21-25 years.…”

“…In the current study, the lower left third molar was the most prevalent site of pericoronitis (54.1%) followed by the lower right third molar. This was supported by studies reported by Ayabadejo et al (Ayanbadejo and Umesi-Koleoso, 2008), who similarly reported 45.3% of lower left molars to be predominant that 37% of lower right molars with a bilateral concurrent pericoronitis was noted in 17.7% of patients. A reason suggested by Saugal (Sangal, 1984) for this difference was that most of the impacted teeth remain unattended to in their patients, which may lead to occasional attacks of pericoronitis and may thus occur on both sides of jaw concurrently.…”

“…Since patients with any known systemic problems were not included, it was considered reasonable that comparisons made between the smokers and nonsmokers were accurately re lected on the in luence of smoking on pericoronitis. This was contradicted by Ayanbadejo et al, who reported having 59.5% of females with pericoronitis and 40.5% of males (Ayanbadejo and Umesi-Koleoso, 2008). This can be attributed to the fact that unlike western society in which habits like smoking or drinking have almost been identically distributed among males and females.…”

Pericoronitis is an infectious disease affecting the operculum overlying a semi-erupted or erupting tooth. Pericoronitis occurs mainly or particularly on the lower third molars. It is painfully debilitating at times and it's a common periodontal emergency found for many diseases, with tobacco being the major modifiable risk factor. It has a negative impact over oral health and oral hygiene. The aim of this study is to analyse the prevalence of pericoronitis among smokers. Patients included in this retrospective study were those with a diagnosis of pericoronitis from July 2019 till March 2020. Socio-demographic and clinical data of all the 109 patients collected such as age, gender, tooth or teeth affected by pericoronitis and treatment undergone were retrieved from the recorded details of the patients. This data was tabulated in excel and then imported to SPSS software for statistical analysis. During the study period, 109 patients presented with pericoronitis. The peak age for the prevalence of pericoronitis was 20-25 years accounting for 75.2% of the patients. The prevalence of lower left third molar (54.1%) being affected with pericoronitis was higher than the lower right third molar being affected (45.9%). Extraction (95.4%) was the frequently performed treatment for pericoronitis. Pericoronitis occurs more often in 20-25 years of age patients who are smokers. While the lower left third molar being the most common tooth involved in pericoronitis and extraction of the affected teeth was the treatment of choice among the majority of the population.

“…Most studies that investigated pericoronitis indicate that the third molars of the mandible are more likely to be affected. Our study presented lower left third molars to be more susceptible to the disease in agreement with the study of Ayanbadejo et al (14), which reported that lower left third molars (45,3%) were more affected than lower right third molars (37.1%) or than a combination of both lower third molars (17.7%) (15). Another study of Folayan et al (2013) proved that pericoronitis may be present in non-third molar teeth at a minimum rate of 0.63%, with the lower left permanent second molars being more susceptible to the condition.…”

BackgroundThis paper presents a statistical analysis of epidemiological, clinical and radiographical characteristics of third molar-related pericoronitis.Material and Methods650 conscripts of the First Training Division of Conscript Soldiers of 2005 in Greece were recruited for the study. Each conscript was given a questionnaire and underwent a clinical test and a radiographic examination. The tested variables included the conscripts’ personal information, oral hygiene parameters along with the radiographic angulation of the third molar, the level of impaction and their classification in relation to the edge of the mandible.ResultsThe prevalence of pericoronitis was found to be 4.92%. The group of patients between 20 and 25 years old dominated in a percentage of 72.41%.ConclusionsThe use of mouthwash along with the adequate frequency of teeth-brushing appeared to be related to a statistically significant decrease of the disease. Vertical impacted molars are more likely to present pericoronitis at a rate of 61.11%; plane A and the impacted teeth that are positioned to the front edge of the mandible according to class II, have a higher rate of prevalence. Finally, a brief literature review in comparison to our study is also presented. Key words:Third-molar-related pericoronitis, impacted wisdom teeth, prevalence, epidemiological study, Greece.

“…This finding is in agreement with a previous study reporting a high prevalence of pericoronitis among females between 19-23 years old. The study further relates the occurrence of pericoronitis in response to the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and also the period revolving the eruption of the mandibular third molar (Ayanbadejo et al, 2007).…”

Oral medicine (OM) is a dental specialty concerning the diagnosis and non-surgical management of oral conditions closely related to medical disorders. This study aims to evaluate the distribution of OM cases at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) undergraduate dental polyclinic and to determine its relationship with sociodemographic background via disease category. Students’ OM logbooks across four academic years were used for convenient sampling. Disease categories were based on previously published studies. Total cases were classified into 22 diagnosis codes and analysed using SPSS version 23. A total of 1917 cases were recorded at the undergraduate dental polyclinic across four academic batches, from year 2010 until 2018. OM case with highest frequency was oral ulcer (31%), followed by temporomandibular disorder (23%), and pericoronitis (10%). In contrast, the least common cases were lichen planus (0.4%), oral potentially malignant disease (0.3%), and tumour (0.2%). With regards to age group, second decade age group was reported the most across the observation period. OM cases were higher in females across most disease categories and Malays were the highest ethnicity reported. The current study identified the most common OM cases encountered in IIUM undergraduate dental polyclinic. The findings may portray the disease burden in the Kuantan population in general. Knowledge of common cases is crucial to prepare clinicians with safe and competent management required in clinical practice.
