Third Molar Impaction Characteristics among Three Different Patterns of Growth Rotations
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: The effects of facial skeleton dimensions and growth pattern on impaction of mandibular third molar had always been a debatable topic. The present study intends to evaluate the vertical growth pattern on patients with impacted mandibular third molar and their correlation. The aim and objectives of this study was to find out the correlation between various skeletal vertical parameters of face with impaction of mandibular third molar. Material and methods: The radiographs of 66 patients having bilateral impacted mandibular third molars were collected after applying different exclusion and inclusion criteria. Lateral cephalograms were traced and cephalometric parameters were noted. Third molar angulations in relation to mandibular plane were noted. Result: 59.09% patients were vertical growers, with mean FMA of 29.80 ± 2.36 and mean lower anterior facial height (LAFH) being 58.75±1.70 mm. A very few 7.57% were horizontal growers with mean FMA of 19.37 ± 1.10 and mean LAFH being 73.01±3.43 mm. Mean third molar angulations in vertical, horizontal and average growers were 77.88°± 10.33, 72.4 °± 19.78 and 84°± 2.42 respectively which was found to be statistically insignificant. Conclusion: It is concluded that the non eruption or impaction of mandibular third molar is independent of vertical growth pattern of an individual.
