Effect of removing impacted third molars on plaque and gingival indices

Effects of lower third molar extraction on attachment level and alveolar bone height of the adjacent second molar

“…A study performed by YLIPAAVALNIEMI et al 33 demonstrated an increase in plaque-related gingival indices in hemi-arches where an impacted third molar was present. These findings were later supported by GIGLIO et al 8 Maintaining proper oral hygiene in the posterior areas of the arch is relatively difficult, and plaque accumulation leads to the development of periodontal disease and apical migration of periodontal attachment on the distal root of the second molar. The patients often develop deep periodontal pockets and/or infra-bony defects distal to the adjacent second molar, even with mild disease elsewhere.…”

Periodontal status of mandibular second molar after extraction of impacted mandibular third molars- a prospective clinical trial

“…It was observed that the maximum IMP were mesioangular (50%), followed by distoangular, horizontal and vertical. Mesioangular and horizontal IMP were associated with greater preoperative PD and CAL, due to food lodgment and poor accessibility ( 23 , 24 ).…”

Pre-Operative Oral Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients Attending Surgical Removal of Mandibular Third Molar Teeth

“…Regarding dental aspects, most studies in the literature did not assess the Decayed, Missing, Filled Teeth (DMFT) scores among patients attending third molar extraction, but instead evaluated caries in the second or third molar [10]. Full mouth plaque index (PI) scores among patients attending third molar extraction is also not well studied, and most studies focused on the assessment of periodontal defects in the adjacent second molar [11] or studied the effect of removing impacted third molars on plaque and gingival indices [12]. It is valuable for the dentist to be aware of the predisposition of the patient to other dental morbidities as well as the impacts on OHRQoL before third molar extraction, to enable taking appropriate preventative and/or therapeutic measures.…”
