The present systematic review updates the evidence on wisdom teeth contributing to lower incisor crowding following orthodontic treatment. Relevant literature was searched on online databases, namely Pubmed, Scopus, and Web of Science, up to December 2022. Eligibility criteria were formulated using the PICOS approach and PRISMA guidelines.

- The study investigated biochemical and histological changes in the mandibles of rats subjected to mandibular growth restriction, comparing experimental and control groups over 30, 60, and 90 days.
- Blood samples were analyzed for certain proteins (OPG, RANKL, and MCSF) using ELISA, but no significant differences were found between the groups.
- However, significant histological changes were observed, specifically a reduction in Bone Surface/Total Surface ratio and a decrease in Posterior Condylar Cartilage Thickness, indicating that the intervention primarily affected local tissue rather than systemic biochemistry.
It is known that Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) provides reliable spatial data and has many clinical applications for dental and particularly orthodontic patients. The present article provides a short review of the literature and reports an unusual CBCT finding in an orthodontic patient referred for the assessment of impacted upper canines. A unilateral lesion in the left maxillary sinus, was an incidental finding.
