Abstract

Background: The impaction rate is much higher for third molars as compared to other teeth. While impacted third molars may remain asymptomatic for an indefinite period, it can cause various delinquents, such as pericoronitis, swelling with pain, distal caries, bone loss, root resorption of adjacent teeth, odontogenic cysts, and tumors. That’s why the most frequent surgical procedure in dentistry is third molar tooth extraction.
