Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the association between gender and the patterns of impaction of mandibular and maxillary third molars alongside the related radiolucent lesions.
Materials and Methods: The present study is a case series of retrospective analysis of panoramic radiographs and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of patients with impacted third molars. The frequency of the different impaction types and the corresponding scratches in both genders were documented.
Results: The types of impactions also showed a gender discrepancy 83.3% of the mesioangular impactions were from males and 16.7% from females, while 26.7% of the vertical impactions were from females and 73.3% from males. Peri coronal radiolucencies were common in 65% of the patients. There was an overall statistically significant relationship: Mesioangular impactions were related to peri coronal lesions (P < 0.0001), whereas horizontal impactions with odontogenic keratocytes (P < 0.004).
Conclusion: This study highlights more the need to have a gender-based approach, specifically in the treatment of impacted third molars, essential information and knowledge of the various issues affecting dental impactions and their pathologies.
