dc.description.abstractAim: Deciding on prophylactic extraction of impacted mandibular teeth can be challenging for clinicians. This study aimed to categorize the impacted mandibular teeth in a group of adult patients by two different classifications and determine their relationship with pathological changes. Material and Methods: Preoperative panoramic radiographs of 1165 patients who had previously undergone removal of impacted mandibular third molar teeth were analyzed. Impacted teeth were categorized according to the Winter and Pell & Gregory classifications. Associated pathological findings included caries in adjacent molar teeth, pericoronal radiolucencies, possible cyst or tumor finding, and root resorption in adjacent molar teeth. Results: The most common pathological findings associated with impacted mandibular third molars were pericoronal radiolucency (33.7%) and caries in second molars (24.9%), respectively. Distal decays were detected in second molars adjacent to those in mesioangular, Class I, and Level A positions. Radiolucency was found most frequently in those in vertical, Class II, and Level B positions (p<0.001). Cyst and tumor were found to be most common in those in horizontal, Class III, and Level C positions (p <0.001). Finally, resorption was found to be most common in impacted teeth in the horizontal and Class II positions (p<0.001). Discussion: Considering the positions of impacted mandibular third molars may provide an estimate of the possible future pathologies. This study may provide dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons with guiding findings in deciding on prophylactic removal of impacted teeth.
