  • To review current scientific literature regarding the management of third molars within the scope of orthodontic care.
  • To provide evidence-based guidance for clinicians making decisions about third molar extraction.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of pertinent studies.
  • Analysis of scientific information related to third molar management in orthodontics.

Main Results:

  • The review synthesizes existing research on third molar extraction versus retention.
