“…Periapical radiographs are the gold standard two-dimensional imaging method. It offers adequate information about the roots and associated pathologies [ 23 , 24 ]. Cone beam computed tomography was preferred by a small minority of the participants, despite its superiority [ 25 ].…”

“…Given the limited view provided by periapical radiographs, the orthopantomography has the advantage of providing an overview of dental arches and jawbones. Besides, it is a useful alternative imaging technique for patients with severe gag reflexes [ 24 , 26 ]. However, it has a major drawback, which is the superimposition at the premolar area.…”

Background. It is generally agreed that radiographic examination is important before dental extraction. It provides information about the roots and the surrounding tissues. In terms of practice, it does not seem to be a universally implemented protocol regarding the use of dental radiology before dental extraction. Besides, the type of radiographic technique is not specified. Some references prefer periapical dental radiographs. Others prefer orthopantomography), or even cone beam computed tomography Delpachitra et al. (2021) [1]. In terms of the dental practice, it is not clear whether there is a universally adopted protocol regarding the use of dental radiographs before dental extraction. Aim of the study. To assess dental professionals’ perspective toward radiographic examination before conventional dental extraction. Materials and Methods. A Google form questionnaire was circulated to different dental professionals using mainly ResearchGate, in addition to different social media platforms. Results. One hundred and forty-five dentists participated in the questionnaire. The respondents were divided according to the country of current practice: national (Iraqi), regional (Middle Eastern), and international participants. Out of 144 respondents, 51.4% percent of the participants were international, while 40.3% were Iraqis, and 8.3% were from the Middle East. The need for dental radiography in all dental extraction procedures was reported in the majority of responses (n = 86). Only 11 dentists think there is no necessity for radiographic examination before conventional extraction. The chi-square test showed a highly significant relationship between the country of current practice and the need for X-ray examination for conventional dental extraction ( P < 0.01). Seventy-six dentists prefer periapical radiographs. Thirty-five preferred orthopantomography. A highly significant relationship was found between the country of practice and the X-ray technique ( P < 0.01). Conclusion. The study showed that there is no universally adopted protocol regarding the use of dental radiography before dental extraction. The country of practice appears to govern the dentists’ decisions regarding the need for an X-ray and the type of radiography prior to dental extraction. Periapical radiographs for posterior teeth seem to be the preferable choice before dental extraction.

“…Impaction is a condition where a tooth does not fully erupt occlusally, remains buried in the jawbone, and is covered by the overlying gum tissue [1]. The sequence of teeth most commonly impacted includes the third molars, canines, premolars, and finally, incisors.…”

Background: There are several efforts to address impacted teeth, one of which is through a minor surgical intervention called Odontectomy. There are also several complications that may arise after Odontectomy is performed, but this usually only occurs for a few days, and patients will experience a more comfortable feeling compared to before the Odontectomy. This research aims to analyze the difference in the quality of life of patients before and after the Odontectomy surgical procedure. Material and Methods: The method employed in this research was analytical observational, using a Cross-Sectional design. The sampling technique used was Accidental sampling, which involved patients who underwent Odontectomy at Bhayangkara Hospital Semarang Indonesia in October 2023. The total sample size was 10 patients based on inclusion criteria. The research was conducted using the OHIP-14 (Oral Health Impact Profile 14) questionnaire, consisting of 14 questions from 7 dimensions. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test because the data scale was ordinal. Results: The results of this study indicated that before undergoing Odontectomy, the quality of life of patients at a moderate level was 3 individuals (30%), while those at a low level were 7 individuals (70%). After Odontectomy was performed, the quality of life of patients improved, with 1 individual (10%) at a moderate level, 9 individuals (90%) at a good level, and 1 individual (10%) at a very good level. The statistical analysis results showed that the significance value (P) was 0.005, indicating that p < 0.05. Conclusion: The conclusion that can be drawn from this research is that there was a significant difference in the quality of life of patients before and after undergoing the Odontectomy procedure.

BackgroundThe prevalence of impacted third molars is high in the global general population. The etiology of impacted third molars is not fully understood, but it is thought to result from combined genetic and environmental factors. Some studies have suggested a link between the blood group and the risk of impacted third molars. This study aimed to investigate the association between the blood group and the presence of impacted third molars and its pattern. MethodA total of 856 panoramic radiographs were included in the study. The third molars were evaluated for the pattern of third-molar impaction and blood characteristics recorded as ABO group and presence or absence of Rhesus antigen. ResultsThe results showed no significant association between the blood group and the presence of impacted third molars. The prevalence of at least one impacted the third molar was 34.6%. The most common angulation of impacted third molars was vertical (V) (45.1%), followed by mesioangular (MA) (33.7%), distoangular (DA) (13.8%), and horizontal (H) (7.4%). There was no significant association between the blood group and the number of impacted third molars nor between the blood group and the angulation of the impacted third molars. ConclusionThis study suggests that the blood group is not a major factor in the development of impacted third molars. However, further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm these findings.
