Does the Presence of Impacted Mandibular Third Molars Increase the Risk of Bad Split Incidence During Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy?

Background: The possibility of mandibular bad spilt might happen during bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). This study investigated the effect of impacted mandibular third molars on bad spilt incidence during BSSO.

Methods: Totally, 140 patients under 40 years old who were candidates for BSSO surgery due to class 3 skeletal discrepancy were divided randomly into two equal groups.

Correlation Between Lower Third Molar Impaction Types and Mandibular Angle and Condylar Fractures: A Retrospective Study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate and determine the relations between mandibular third molar (M3) impaction types and mandibular angle and condylar fractures.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in patients with mandibular angle and condylar fractures referred to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of the Shahid Kamyab Hospital (Mashhad, Iran) from 2013 to 2018. Data sources were patients' hospital documents and panoramic radiographs.
