Article Synopsis
- Impacted third molars can lead to various complications affecting the second molars, including dental caries, root resorption, and periodontal issues, influenced by the third molar's position and orientation.
- The study analyzed 418 cases of impacted mandibular third molars, focusing on clinical and radiographic evaluations to assess the health of adjacent second molars and associated pathologies in patients aged 15-40 years.
- Results showed a high prevalence of dental caries (19.9%), periodontal pockets (15.2%), and root resorption (8.5%) in second molars linked to the type of impaction, particularly noting mesioangular impaction's correlation with these conditions.
