Abstract:
Mandibular crowding is the most common type of dental crowding among adolescents.
Aims:
To investigate the relationship between the angulation pattern of impacted mandibular third molars and the severity of mandibular anterior crowding.
Methodology:
A total of 69 participants with impacted mandibular third molars were included in the study, and their records were analysed.
Results:
There was no significant association between impacted mandibular third molars' angulation pattern and mandibular anterior crowding severity, as well as no correlation between gender and either impacted mandibular third molars' angulation pattern or mandibular anterior crowding severity.
Conclusion:
Our findings suggest that the angulation pattern of impacted mandibular third molars is not a significant contributing factor to the severity of mandibular anterior crowding. However, further studies with larger sample sizes are necessary to validate these results.
