Is third molar development affected by third molar impaction or impaction-related parameters? [PDF]

Clinical Oral Investigations, 2021
To evaluate the effect of third molar impaction and impaction-related parameters on third molar development.Panoramic radiographs (N=3972) from 473 males and 558 females between 3.2 and 23.5 years old were analysed. Three parameters of impaction were examined: hindering contact between third and adjacent second molar, retromolar space availability ...
