Abstract:Mandibular third molar impaction impose a great dental problem especially to young adults. It is the most commonly impacted tooth in the entire dentition of humans. The cause of impaction may vary and may include lack of space, malposition and physical barrier on the path of eruption. This impaction can lead to different pathologies, from infection to development of cysts. Injury to the inferior alveolar nerve during extraction of mandibular third molar is also a possibility during treatment which can lead to … Show more
