The most common reason for mandibular third molar impaction is due to reduced space between the distal part of the second mandibular molar and the anterior border of the ascending ramus of the lower jaw. The tooth that is impacted is commonly asymptomatic, or sometimes present with various pathological conditions causing pain and swelling as well as pus discharge. In our current study, we have assessed the patterns of Mandibular third molar impactions using the Orthopantomogram (OPG’s). OPG’s of 150 patients (91 female and 59 male) who were between 18-25 years of age and had impacted mandibular third molars was assessed for gender, the region having the highest frequency of impaction and the fashion of impaction of the mandibular third molars. The study shows Bilateral impaction was more commonly seen in 26.66% of the study population and case of unilateral impactions the most frequent site is particularly in left side 23.33% and in right 19.33% unilateral impactions. The mesioangular pattern of impaction was more common in both male and female and was followed by distoangular, vertical and horizontal patterns.The study showed that there was no gender bias in the presence of impacted mandibular third molars and that the mesioangular pattern of impaction was more common.

“…A tooth is considered impacted when its eruption is hampered by other teeth, bone or soft tissues, impacted teeth can be clinically observed and later confirmed radiographically [3,26]. Impaction is cessation of eruption of a tooth caused by a physical barrier or ectopic positioning of a tooth [12]. The impacted maxillary canines are the second most common of the impacted tooth.…”

The impacted maxillary canines are the second most common of the impacted tooth. Ectopic eruption may lead to impaction. An ectopic maxillary canine is a canine which follows an abnormal path of eruption in the maxilla. The aim of the study is to quantify the prevalence of impacted maxillary canines and its association with other dental anomalies. A retrospective study was done with 13 patients who had impacted maxillary canines. For the data collection we reviewed patient records and analysed the data of 86000 patients between june 2019 and march 2020. The collected data were analysed for further associated dental anomaly. The results were analysed using SPSS version 20 by IBM and association between impacted canine and dental anomaly was determined using pearson correlation with p value <0.05. From the study it was found that the most common impacted maxillary canine is the left maxillary canine (61.5%). The peg laterals were the most dental anomaly with the impacted maxillary canine(61.8%). Dental anomalies should be used as risk indicators for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning.

“…An impacted tooth is one that is partially erupted or unerupted and which will not assume a normal arch relationship with other teeth and tissues. (Harsha, 2014;Christabel et al, 2016). Alterations in the morphology of permanent teeth following trauma to their predecessors is a challenging task for diagnosis, and it may require advanced imaging techniques.…”

Maxillary and mandibular third molars with dilacerated root forms and curvature play a significant role in the treatment planning regarding whether the tooth can be extracted normally or go for trans alveolar extraction. The aim of this study is to assess the association of root curvature and trans alveolar extraction of upper and lower third molars. Preoperative assessment reduces the surgical difficulty and is fundamental for treatment planning and extraction of impacted third molars. We reviewed the case records of the patients who underwent trans alveolar extraction and analysed the data of 94 patients from June 2019 to March 2020 and was tabulated in excel. The data analysis was done in SPSS by IBM, and output was generated as bar charts. In this study, we observed that out of the total 94 trans alveolar extraction performed, 50% of the incidence was below 45 years out of which dilacerated roots were present in 28.7% cases. Results were tabulated and represented as bar charts.so within the limitations of the study we observed that root morphology did not have a significant role in deciding about the treatment whether the teeth will go for open or transalveolar extraction.
