Background: Through the analysis of clinical data, we attempted to investigate the etiology and determine the risk of severe iatrogenic lingual nerve injuries in the removal of the mandibular third molar. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed for patients who had undergone microsurgical repair of lingual nerve injuries. The following data were collected and analyzed: patient sex, age, nerve injury side, type of impaction (Winter's classification, Pell and Gregory's classification). Ratios for the respective lingual nerve injury group data were compared with the ratios of the respective data for the control group, which consisted of data collected from the literature. The data for the control group included previous patients that encountered various complications during the removal of the mandibular third molar. Results: The lingual nerve injury group consisted of 24 males and 58 females. The rate of female patients with iatrogenic lingual nerve injuries was significantly higher than the control groups. Ages ranged from 15 to 67 years, with a mean age of 36.5 years old. Lingual nerve injury was significantly higher in the patient versus the control groups in age. The lingual nerve injury was on the right side in 46 and on the left side in 36 patients. There was no significant difference for the injury side. The distoangular and horizontal ratios were the highest in our lingual nerve injury group. The distoangular impaction rate in our lingual nerve injury group was significantly higher than the rate for the control groups. Conclusion: Distoangular impaction of the mandibular third molar in female patients in their 30s, 40s, and 50s may be a higher risk factor of severe lingual nerve injury in the removal of mandibular third molars.

It is the aim of this study to determine the impacts of radicular development of lower third molars on its eruption/impaction and to grope the prediction for eruption and/or impaction in advance. Three hundred and thirty cases of orthopantomogram were employed and classified as mesial root-dominant group, distal root-dominant group and Identical group according to the radicular development of lower third molars. This presentation has carried out the incipient mesial inclination, radicular development, impaction/eruption rate and changes of mesial inclination of the very teeth. Consequently the following summary and conclusions were drawn; Radicular development dominated mesial root than the distal and dominant mesial root invited higher potentialities for normal eruption. The mesial or honzontal impactions were detected on the distal root-dominant group. This analysis has been suggested the potential eruption/impaction of lower third molars were dependent upon the radicular development and the incipient mesial inclination.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to observe the relationship between impacted mandibular third molars and development of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Knowledge of the factors that have an adverse effect on the TMJ is necessary for proper diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of TMJ disorders. Materials and Methods: The study was performed on 80 patients aged between 20 and 60 years with impacted mandibular third molars, over a period of two months. The patients were examined clinically and radiologically to determine the type of impaction and detect the associated TMJ symptoms or disorders. Results: In the 80 patients, 63.8% (51/80) of TMJ disorders were found in the horizontal group, 46.3% (37/80) in the mesioangular group, 42.5% (34/80) in the distoangular group, and 30.0% (24/80) in the vertical group of impacted mandibular third molars. Conclusion: The study concluded that type of impacted mandibular third molar is factor in the development of temporomandibular disorders.

매복은 임상적 또는 방사선학적으로 인식할 만한 맹출로의 장애물이나 잘못된 치배의 위치로 인하여 치아의 맹출에 진전이 없는 것을 말한다. 제 3 대구치와 상악 견치를 제외하고 제 2 소구치에서 가장 흔히 매복이 발생하며, 소구치의 매복은 전체 매복의 0.5%를 차지한다. 소구치 매복의 치료에는 교정적 견인과 외과적 재위치가 필요할 수도 있지만, 만기 잔존된 유구치에 의해 발생한 소구치 매복은 유구치의 발거 및 공간 유지로서 소구치의 맹출을 유도할 수 있다. 본 증례는 제 2 소구치의 미맹출을 주소로 경북대학교병원 소아치과에 내원한 환아에서 만기 잔존된 제 2 유구치를 발거하고 공간 유지를 하여 제 2 소구치의 자발적 맹출을 시도하였는 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 1. 만기 잔존된 제 2 유구치와 연관된 매복된 제 2 소구치는 유치 발거를 통한 최소한의 치료로 양호한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 2. 제 2 소구치가 맹출할 때까지 적절한 공간 유지와 정기적인 방사선 검사가 필요하다. 3. 교정적 견인 또는 외과적 재위치를 시도하기 전 치아의 이동을 확인하기 위한 충분한 시간이 허용되어야 한다. 4. 치근이 미완성된 치아에서 좀 더 성공적인 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

Purpose : This study evaluated the impact of the presence and aspect of mandibular third molars to the mandible angle fracture or condyle fractures in Korean. Materials and Methods : A retrospective study was designed for patients attending the division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Kang-dong sacred heart hospital for treatment of mandibular fracture from January 2006 to September 2010. The primary variable was the presence of mandibular third molar and the secondary variable was the aspects of third molar impaction. Mandibular third molars were classified by the impaction depth and the available space as Pell & Gregory system. Outcome variables were the presence of mandibular angle fracture or condyle fracture. Also the source of trauma, age, sex were studied. Hospital charts, radiographs were used for study. Statistic analysis was done with descriptive statistics, the X2-test, linear-by-linear association. P value under 0.05 was considered significant statistically. Results : The number of involved patients was 86. The ratio of male to female patients was about 9:1 for angle fracture and 7:3 for condyle fracture. The most common source of trauma was assault for angle fracture and fall down for condyle fracture. The presence of mandibular third molar increased frequency of angle fracture and decreased condyle fracture with larger impaction depth. But available space of mandibular third molar did not show high association with angle or condyle fractures. Conclusion: Preventive extraction of mandibular third molar is recommended for patients with high risk of angle fracture. Male patients at their third decade or martial artists, police officer could be the case. But it is not recommended for patients with low risk of angle fracture and high risk of condyle fracture relatively. Elder female patients without any symptom on their third molar could be the case.

Ectopic eruption of the permanent first molar is defined as the eruption of the tooth in an abnormal position or orientation. It may causes distal root resorption and premature exfoliation of the adjacent primary second molar and uncontrolled space loss is followed. Prolonged partial impaction of the permanent molar may also cause undetected caries or abscess formation of the neighbor teeth. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief review regarding the etiology, classification, and different management techniques for correcting ectopic eruption of permanent first molar.

It has been generally believed that the impaction or eruption of mandibular third molars has significant correlations with the growth of the mandible, size of mandibular arch and size of teeth. The purpose of this study was to examine if there is any correlation between the status of eruption of mandibular third molars and the amount of mandibular crowding. The effect of missing of third moalrs to mandibular crowding was studied as well. 140 adult students of Yonsei University were selected and divided into three groups according to the status of mandibular third molars, Group 1) congenital missing group, Group 2) eruption group, and Group 3) impaction group. The tooth size, dimensions of the mandibular dental arch, and the amount of crowding were measured and compared. Results were as follows ; 1. There was no statistically significant difference in tooth size between the missing group and the eruption group(p<0.05). Impaction group showed larger total tooth material, inci- sal tooth material, and individual tooth size except central incisors compared to missing group (p<0.05). Impaction group showed larger total tooth material, incisal tooth material compared to eruption group as well(p<0.05). When individual tooth size was compared, impaction group had larger central incisors, canines, and second premolars than eruption group(p<0.05). 2. Missing group showed larger intermolar width than impaction group and it was stati- stically significant(p<0.05). 3. When compared the amount of total crowding, impaction group showed the largest am- ount of crowding, then eruption group, and missing group showed the least amount of crowding respectively(p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between missing stoup and eruption group in the amount of incisal crowding(p<0.05). Impaction group show- ed the largest amount of incisal crowding among all three groups(p<0.05).

치아가 정상적으로 맹출해야 하는 시기를 지나서도 골조직 내에서 맹출하지 않을 수 있으며, 이러한 치아를 매복치라 한다. 유치의 매복은 드물게 나타나며, 더구나 과거의 문헌 고찰에 의하면 현재까지 보고된 계승 영구치 하방에 매복된 유치는 극히 드물다. 대부분의 경우 매복된 유치는 제 2 유구치이다. 유치의 매복에 대한 병인은 유치 치배의 비정상적인 발달로 인해 조기에 유착이 일어나는 것으로 추측되어지고 있으나, 아직까지 정확하게 밝혀진 바는 없다. 전위는 동일한 사분악 내의 인접한 두 개 치아의 위치가 서로 바뀐 것을 말하며, 영구 상악 견치와 제 1소구치 사이에 가장 많이 발생한다. 그 빈도는 1% 내외로 낮으며, 특히 유치열의 전위는 거의 발표된 바가 없다. 본 증례는 양악 양측 제 2유구치의 매복을 주소로 본과에 의뢰된 환자의 구강 및 방사선 검사 결과 매복된 제 2유구치와 후속 제 2소구치 사이의 수직 전위가 관찰되었기에 보고하는 바이다.
