Impacted mandibular second molars

Abstract: The prevalence of MdM2 impaction in this study was low but slightly higher than previous reports investigating whites. Although such impactions are rare, it is recommended to diagnose early for an optimal treatment time and reduction of complications. In addition, the effective molar uprighting appliance used in this study has displayed good treatment outcomes with natural improvement of the adjacent infrabony defects of the first molars.

“…This outcome, however, reflects the increase in prevalence reported over the years by other studies (4,8,10,11,15). This incidence value is similar to that found by Evans (4) and suggests that the decreasing rate of extraction of first molars could be responsible for the increasing trend toward MM2 impaction.…”

“…Impaction of mandibular second molar (MM2) is relatively rare, with a reported prevalence of 0% - 2.3% (1-9), but it has been observed an increase in prevalence over the years (4,8,10,11). MM2 impaction has been described in three forms of angulations: mesial, vertical or distal (5).…”

“…A impactação é algo não muito comum conforme observado no estudo de Fu et al 12 (2012). A verticalização de molares é uma terapia ortodôntica muito utilizada em adultos, em conjunto com a terapia periodontal restauradora, buscando importantes benefícios, tais como: paralelismo dos dentes que servirão de apoio para próteses fixas ou removíveis, obtenção de um espaço edêntulo adequado e eliminação ou redução dos defeitos ósseos verticais.…”

Fu et al 12 (2012) observaram um tempo médio de 3,6 meses para ocorrer a verticalização, semelhante ao caso relatado por Reddy et al 4 (2008) em que a movimentação durou dois meses. Caso o diagnóstico seja precoce, o tratamento pode ocorrer em um menor intervalo de tempo.…”
