“…In analysis of patient factors, professionals responded that mandibular growth significantly influences their decision to extract or not. A result that is supported in the literature because the lack of retromolar space or the availability of space for a correct location of the mandibular third molar is correlated with insufficient growth of the mandibular anatomy, which even depends on sex ( 5 , 18 , 19 ). For example, men’s jaws continue to grow during the eruption of third molars, while women’s jaws stop growing when third molars begin to erupt ( 19 ).…”

For example, men’s jaws continue to grow during the eruption of third molars, while women’s jaws stop growing when third molars begin to erupt ( 19 ). Even the indications for germectomy of the mandibular third molar in class III patients have been described in cases where predictors of craniofacial growth reveal excessive anteroposterior mandibular growth, a severe dentoalveolar discrepancy or in cases where distalization of the first and second molars is necessary ( 20 ).…”

Background To date, there is no consensus on the factors that influence on indication for prophylactic extraction of the third molar, however it is a common indication in orthodontics. Aim: To determine the factors associated with indication of prophylactic extraction of the lower third molar in orthodontic practice. Material and Methods This cross-sectional analytical study used an online survey to obtain responses from 100 professionals with clinical practice in orthodontics. The Survey Monkey software was used to enter a valid and reliable questionnaire of 11 questions to obtain demographic and clinical information of the professional, as well as some patient conditions that could be considered in a possible indication for prophylactic extraction. The questionnaire was sent through social networks and instant messaging applications. Chi Square test was used to evaluate associated factors and binomial logistic regression to identify risk or protective factors. Results Factors significantly associated with indication of prophylactic extraction of the lower third molar were experience in orthodontics ( p -value = 0.060; OR=0.325), characteristics of impaction ( p -value = 0.012; OR=3.689), prevention of pericoronitis (p-value = 0.014; OR=3.769) and help stability of treatment results ( p -value = 0.002; OR=6.074). Conclusions The risk factors to indication for prophylactic extraction of the lower third molar were impaction of the third molar, prevention of pericoronitis and helping the stability of the results after treatment. Furthermore, experience in orthodontics was identified as a protective factor for this indication. Key words: Orthodontics, risk factors, third molar, tooth extraction.

“…In contrast, an article published by Jeevitha et al [25] finds no existing correlation between both aspects, although it is relevant to highlight it used 2D radiographs. Multiple recent studies compared other aspects of craniofacial morphology, concluding in a similar way: facial types influence the kind of impaction, for example, the growth potential of the mandible in brachyfacial types may provide sufficient space for third molar eruption, which is a more common impaction of the molars in dolichocephalic [26], and individuals with increased maximal cranial width and decreased anterior facial height have a higher risk of impaction of third molars in the mandible [27].…”

There is no current consensus on the parameters that determine the difficulty of mandibular third molar extraction in terms of the time required, which is essential to prevent complications and optimize the time of the intervention. This study aims to obtain, using the mathematical method of multiple linear regression, an equation that allows estimating the extraction time of a lower third molar according to its complexity, as well as to validate this equation in a sample of external wisdom teeth. Methods: A prospective cohort study on a sample of patients of the Master of Oral Surgery of the University of Seville in which multiple linear regression coefficients were calculated with a subsequent validation study of the results in the sample of patients operated in the Hospital Palmaplanas of Mallorca. Results: The regression line obtained after applying the statistical methodology to the cohort of patients from the University of Seville obtained significant dependent variables such as depth, roots, and odontosection. Once applied to the cohort of patients from the Palmaplanas Hospital in Mallorca, a regression coefficient was obtained between the data received and the estimated 0.770. Conclusions: The formula proposed in this article presents significant validity in the prediction of the surgical time of extraction of the lower third molars included.
