Evaluation of impacted 3rd molars in Indian ethinicity on panoramic radiograph-a cross sectional study
Journal Title: Journal of Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: The aim of present study is to know the association between types of impaction and jaws in males and females. This study also evaluates the prevalence of impaction according to age in maxilla and mandible. Material and Methods: The orthopantomograms of 198 subjects were taken from Planmecca PM 2002 cc Proline Panoramic X-ray unit at Kvp (60-80), 10 mA at exposure time 18 second. The orthopantogram evaluated for type of impaction as per Winter’s classification and related findings were recorded. Results: The recorded data is analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. The maxillary right and left side is more predilected for vertical impaction in male and female population and it was statistically significant (p<.05). The mesioangular impaction is most common impaction in mandible and it was statistically non-significant (p>.05) in either gender. In all age groups, vertical impaction is most common type of impaction in maxilla however mesioangular impaction is most common type in mandible. Conclusion: The vertical impaction is most common type of impaction in maxilla and mesioangular impaction is most common type in mandible in all age groups and gender
