“…In our study, we found that mesioangular impaction of the mandibular third molar was the most common (44.8%) followed by distoangular impaction (22.6). With regard to frequency of mesioangular impaction, our result was similar to that reported by Quek et al 10 ,Schroeder et al 11 and Stanley et al 12 . Distoangular impaction was the second most common type of impaction and we found no similar result in any study.…”

Background and objective: The aim of this study was to assess radiographically the angulations and depth of impacted mandibular third molars. Methods: In a retrospective study 163 impacted mandibular third molars of 100 patients were examined on orthopantomograms (OPT) in the College of Dentistry/ Hawler Medical University during 2008. From these orthopantomograms the angulations (mesioangular, distoangular, vertical, and horizontal) and the depth (types A, B, and C) of the impacted mandibular third molars were recorded. The frequencies of unilateral and bilateral impaction were also recorded. Results: The average age of the patients was 26.5 + 5 ranging from 20-40 years with a median of 25 years. Fifty eight (58%) of the cases were female and 42 (42%) were male. The frequency of mesioangular, distoangular, vertical and horizontal impactions were 73 (44.8%), 37 (22.6%), 28 (17.2%), and 25(15.4%) successively. The depths of the impactions were 45 (27.6%) depth A, 74 (45.4%) depth B, and 44 (27%) depth C.The frequency of unilateral impaction was 26 (26%) and that of bilateral impaction was 74 (74%). Conclusion: Impacted mandibular third molars are more common in female. Mesioangular impaction is more common followed by distoangular. Depth B most common and most of the patients have bilateral impaction.

“…Schroeder et al 11 , Stanley et al 12 showed that mesioangular impactions were the most common, followed by horizontal and vertical impactions. Others like Sasano et al 13 , Venta et al 6 found vertical impactions to be the most common variant which was followed by horizontal impactions.…”
