The predictivity of mandibular third molar position as a risk indicator for pericoronitis: A prospective study

Abstract: Aim:The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of the mandibular third molar at highest risk for acute pericoronitis using clinical and radiographic analysis.Materials and Methods:A total of 120 patients ranging in age from 18 to 55 years suffering from pericoronitis were examined. Subjective and objective observations were recorded that included the age, gender, angulation of partially impacted mandibular third molar, the frequency of pericoronitis in a year, the presence of impinging maxillary… Show more

“…This is consistent with the studies performed by Kakoei et al 28 and Singh al. 29 Moreover, this finding is in line with study was performed by Al-Naaimi et al 30 Various types of chronic orofacial pain of unknown origin exist. The new ICOP is the first comprehensive classification that uniquely deals with orofacial pain.…”

“…Previous study from Anjum et al (2014), reported that more males were affected than female in a ratio of 1.3:1. A few previous studies also reported more incidents of male compared to female (Tegginamani and Prasad, 2013;Singh et al, 2018). The difference of indings on gender among a periodontal patient suggests that there is no correlation between genders that may affect the in lammation to occur.…”

“…The lower third molar position is usually evaluated by Pell and Gregory classification ( Figure 2 ) and Winters’s classification ( Figure 3 ). The results of studies on the mandibular third molar position and the occurrence of pericoronitis vary [ 8 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. However, a meta-analysis on this topic conducted in 2019 revealed that:…”

“…On the other hand, children and adults over the age of 40 years are rarely affected [ 2 ]. Several studies have reported the distribution of pericoronitis between the sexes to be insignificant with a slight female predominance [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. The diagnosis is based on clinical examination and differential diagnosis.…”
