Article Abstract
Symmetrical horizontal impacted bilateral mandibular third molar in lingo-buccal direction is a rare type of impacted teeth. When a tooth cannot erupt and fails to achieve a normal function and occlusion during its chronological age of eruption, it is called an impacted tooth. In this paper, a case of a male patient aged 20 years old who had bilateral horizontally impacted lower third molar which was noticed in a routine screening panoramic radiograph and confirmed with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging and referred to the oral maxillofacial surgical center for surgical removal of the impacted teeth in order to avoid late complications is discussed.

Oral paresthesia occurs when one of the nerves in the region is injured, usually the inferior alveolar and/or lingual nerve, after dental procedures such as the extraction of lower third molars. The objective of this study was to describe the case of a patient who received photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy for paresthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) caused by the extraction of mandibular third molars. The protocol used involved a super-pulsed diode laser with dual wavelengths of 810 nm and 980 nm, 1 W, 60 seconds, 12.

Introduction: Third molar removal is one of the most common surgical procedures in dentistry. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the learning curve of dentists undergoing surgical training. Thus, the aims of this study were to assess the performance of oral surgery residents in third molar extractions based on operative time and the occurrence of incidents/complications, and to determine which variables are associated with surgical difficulty.

The primary aim of this study was to determine whether there is a difference in degree of conversion (DC) between resin cements polymerized with an adhesive and those without an adhesive. The secondary aim was to compare interfacial gap of zirconia restoration when resin cements are self-cured. The DC of resin cement was measured without adhesive treatment continuously for 15 min and at 24 h.

Third molar radiographic assessment can help determine the probability of an individual reaching the legal age of majority, typically 18 years old. This study aims to assess this probability using third molar development through the Demirjian staging system. The sample consisted of 429 panoramic radiographs (210 females, 219 males) from individuals aged 15-23.

Background: The current study attempts to assess the impact of third molar impaction on external root resorption (ERR) of the adjacent second molars. We aimed to determine the prevalence, severity, and associated factors with ERR in a sample of panoramic radiographs.
Material And Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out at teaching hospital.
