“…In presence of pathological changes associated with impaction like cysts, tumours, destruction of adjacent teeth, non-restorable carious lesion, there is no disagreement for tooth extraction. [11,12] The incidence of cysts and tumours present around the impacted third molar varies greatly in various studies but in our study, dentigerous cyst have the highest incidence (22.35%) followed by ameloblastoma (14.11%), odontogenic keratocyst (9.4%) and calcifying cystic odontogenic tumour (2.35%).…”

Background: Tooth impaction is a common occurrence and surgical removal of impacted teeth is the commonest of routine dental surgical procedures. Various pathological conditions like cysts, tumors, abscess etc. have been associated with partially or completely unerupted tooth. Aim: To determine the histopathological incidence of cysts and tumours associated with impacted mandibular third molar. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 85 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks, including 85 cases of impacted mandibular third molars associated with pathologies which are histopathologically diagnosed using H & E staining. After data collection, statistical analysis was done. Results: In our study, dentigerous cyst have the highest incidence (22.35%) followed by ameloblastoma (14.11%), odontogenic keratocyst (9.4%) and calcifying cystic odontogenic tumour (2.35%). Conclusion: Follicular tissue was obtained from extraction of impacted teeth should be sent for a histopathologic investigation and attention should be focused on age, gender, site and type of impaction for the treatment planning of an impacted third molar.

“…The incidence of pathology associated with asymptomatic impacted third molars in the Indian population has been documented by Patil et al 49 and Vigneswaran et al 50 Both studies agree that the incidence of cysts or tumors in the third molars is very low. Patil et al 49 reported that a considerable number of patients had disease-free third molars. However a minority yet a significant number of the patients were identified with pathology.…”

Aim: Removal of the third molars is the most common minor oral surgical procedure being performed. Though controversy is minimal when there is a pathology involved with the third molar, prophylactic removal of impacted third molars has always been debated. This review focuses on the prophylactic removal of the third molar Background: Many a time an impacted third molar can remain asymptomatic throughout life. What is to be considered is the risk of just retaining an asymptomatic third molar against overt problems that arise if it becomes pathological.Review results: Quite a number of systematic reviews have been compiled by various authors on this topic. However, still, there is no decision with a black and white certainty when it comes to prophylactic removal of impacted third molars. Conclusion:This article highlights the review on surgical removal of impacted molars, the associated complications during removal and the complications associated with retention.

“…Specific type of impacted third molar causing distal caries in second molar was identified and recorded. Impacted mandibular third molar were classified as per the standard Pell & Gregory classification as vertical, mesioangular, distoangular, horizontal and others [7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

Background: Failure of normal tooth eruption due to various factors is referred to as impaction. The most common impacted tooth is mandibular third molars. It is difficult to treat, and it is indicated to be removed without delay to avoid caries development in the neighboring second molar and loss of both teeth. Extraction of the third molar results in less complications and better dental health, improved gum health in the area adjacent to the second molar. Aim:The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of distal caries in second molar teeth due to impacted third molar teeth in RAKCODS and their relation to gender and age. Materials and Methods:A total of 100 Orthopantomograms (OPGs) of patients reporting to RAKCODS over a period of three years were screened and randomly selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data was collected, and cross checked for any discrepancies and entered into excel spread sheet. Descriptive analysis of the data was done, and results were displayed as graphs.Results: According to this study, 20% cases show distal caries on mandibular second molars and 80% cases show healthy second molars. There was no relation between gender and impaction, but when studied independently, it showed that mesial impaction was more common in males, and horizontal impaction was more common in females. Age wise, there was no relation between age and cavity existence. Conclusion:A total of 80% of the patients with impacted third molars had no distal caries on mandibular second molar.It was found that there is no relation between gender and impaction, and that there are equal chances of caries existence regardless of age or gender.
