Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, USC School of Dentistry, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Purpose: The study goal was to evaluate the incidence of patients older than 40 years who required third molar removal.
Patients And Methods: Two prospective 5-year studies were compared over a 10-year period of 1992 to 1997 and 1997 to 2002. The study was initiated to evaluate how the large increase in the older population with longer life expectancies is reflected in the third molar population.
