Pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption in "high-risk" impacted third molars: A report of four cases.

Pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption (PEIR) is usually an incidental finding as a radiolucent lesion within the coronal dentin of unerupted teeth. Through the four cases reported here, authors would demonstrate deeply impacted "high-risk" third molars with PEIR defects, showing an increased risk of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury. However, follow-up or coronectomy may eliminate or reduce the risk of neurosensory disturbances, in case of PEIR lesions this can be contradictory due to the unpredictable reactions of the third molar's pulp.

Is it possible to filter third molar cases with panoramic radiography in which roots surround the inferior alveolar canal? A comparison using cone-beam computed tomography.

Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) entrapment in third molar (M3) roots bears a significant risk for nerve injury. The aim of this study was to identify specific panoramic radiographic (PR) signs that can reliably identify IAN entrapment (IANE) root conformations. In a retrospective case-control study, 10 IANE and 218 non-IANE third molar risk cases were examined by PR and CBCT.

[The role of occlusal support and lower third molars in mandibular angle and condylar fractures].

Introduction And Aim: The aim of our study was to investigate the influence of the occlusal support, and mandibular third molars on mandibular angle and condylar fractures.

Method And Results: Patients with unilateral and isolated angle or condylar fractures were included in this retrospective, cross-sectional study. Data was collected from patient records and panoramic x-rays.

Association Between Third Molar Impaction Status and Angle or Condylar Fractures of the Mandible: A Retrospective Analysis.

Purpose: The aim of our study was to evaluate the correlations between mandibular third molar impaction status and mandibular angle and condylar fractures.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included patients with unilateral and isolated angle or condylar fractures. Patient records and panoramic radiographs were evaluated.
