Retrospective analysis of impacted first and second permanent molars in the Turkish population: A multicenter study

Abstract: Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to retrospectively analyze 170 case series of patients with 200 impacted first and second permanent molars. Study Design: Records of 104.408 patients were retrospectively screened in this multicenter study. The chosen study population consists of 170 patients who presented with impacted or retained first and second permanent molar. All patients with impacted first or second permanent molar had undergone clinical and radiographic examinations. The following facto… Show more

“…Mesioangular position characterized by second molar making a convergence angle of >30° (i.e., 40% and 80%) is the most common type of third molar impaction comprising about 43% of all third molar impactions. [12] In the present study, of 150 radiographs, 97 (65%) impacted third molars are in mesioangular in position, of which 60 (69%) impacted third molars causing decay on adjacent second molars followed by 31 (21%) impacted third molars are in horizontal position, of which 20 (23%) impacted third molars cause decay on adjacent second molars.…”

“…Although they are mostly asymptomatic, they are sometimes discovered when a patient presents with pericoronitis or pathologies such as a cystic lesion in an adjacent tooth. Thus, the discovery of an impaction usually occurs during a routine visit, and this leads to a late diagnosis (8)(9)(10). There are insufficient studies about impacted premolar prevalence in the literature.…”
