The third molar tooth is the most commonly impacted. The prevalence varies with different population and regions. This study evaluated the association between race, age, gender and also the retromolar space with the incidence of the mandibular third molar impaction among Malaysian population. A hundred twenty nine consecutively treated patients in local dental clinics were entered into the study. By considering the influence of age, sex, and race, the subjects were divided into impacted and non-impacted group based on the occlusal level of mandibular third molar by means of digital vernier caliper measurement. The orthopantomogram of these patients were examined to find out the presence/absence of the mandibular third molars and the type of impaction and the angulations, if presents. Interestingly, Indian race are found to have the highest incidence (2×) of mandibular third molar impaction in Malaysian population, followed by Malay and Chinese without any bias in gender. The age group with the highest incidence of mandibular third molar impaction is between 28-33 years old. Our findings also demonstrated strong relationship between the retromolar space and mandibular third molar impaction incidence. The commonest type of angulations seen in impacted group is mesioangular. The incidence of mandibular third molar impaction was also found to be associated with the age group, gender and race of the patient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
