“…Due to a lack of space or barrier, third molars are often held back during an eruption, making this area less accessible for oral hygiene practices 5,6 . If they are enclosed or embedded, they gather plaque, increasing the odds of infection in the posterior molar region 7,8 . Hence, impacted 3 rd molars may cause periodontal disease, pain, pericoronitis, tumor, cyst formation, distal caries, dental crowding, and angle fracture 7,8 .…”

“…One of the most common complications related to the topographic status of the impacted mandibular 3rd molar is distal caries of the mandibular 2nd molar and accounted for 0.5% to 20% [8][9][10][11][12] . A recent study by Altiparmak et al reported,38.7% of dental caries in 2 nd molars developed due to neighboring impacted mandibular 3 rd molars 13 .…”

Background:The oral cavity has four 3 rd molars, commonly termed wisdom teeth. These molars may erupt in an appropriate anatomical place and become functional, or they may erupt partly or non-functionally, in which case they are known to as impacted. Therefore, the study aimed to measure the frequency of distal caries of 2 nd molars in the presence of mesio-angular impacted 3 rd molars and its association with the other type of impactions among patients. Methods: It was a retrospective cross-sectional study done at the Oral Medicine and Diagnosis

Third molar teeth can stay impacted due to systemic factors, space deficiency, pathology or an anatomical obstacle. The positions, angles, follicle sizes, and impaction statuses of impacted third molars can change over time. The purpose of this study is to investigate changes in the position, inclination, angle, and follicular width of impacted third molars at the end of a 5-year follow-up on panoramic radiographs. Retrospective analyses of a total of 98 impacted third molar teeth were carried out on panoramic radiographs taken at 5-year intervals for 31 patients who presented to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology at Faculty of Dentistry for various reasons between 2013 and 2021. The mean angle of the examined impacted third molars with the occlusal plane was 26.725±27.31° at the beginning of the 5-year follow-up and 26.399±28.46° at the end of the follow-up. There was a 5° angular change(inclination) in 4(8.2%) impacted molars. In the examinations of the panoramic radiographs taken at 5-year intervals, no pathologic change around any impacted third molar or resorption in neighboring teeth was observed. There were inclination changes in 2(4%) of the impacted molars and position changes in 11(22.4%). The changes may be occur in the position, inclination, angle, and follicular width of asymptomatic impacted teeth in time. It is important that asymptomatic impacted teeth can be followed radiographically to evaluate the effects of changes in position, inclination, angle and follicle width over time on the impacted tooth and surrounding tissues and to prevent complications that may occur after a possible impacted third molar extraction.
