Abstract

Objective:

To find out the association of lower anterior arch crowding with the angulations of impacted mandibular third molar.

Materials and Methods:

Data for this cross-sectional study was collected from the Panoramic radiographs and dental casts of the patients meeting the inclusion criteria. The mandibular impacted third molars were classified based on Winter’s classification and lower anterior arch crowding was classified using the little’s irregularity index. A statistical analysis was performed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Mean ± standard deviation was used for numerical data. Chi square test was used to observe any association between the variables.

Results:

A significant association was found between severity of lower anterior crowding and angulation of mandibular third molar impaction (p value 0.01). Out of total 83 cases, 40 (48.2%) were vertical impactions in which mild crowding of incisors was more prevalent (56.0%), also in 28 (33.7%) cases which were of mesioangular impaction type, also showed increased prevalence of mild crowding (40%).

Conclusion:There was a significant association of mandibular incisor crowding with angulations of impacted third molars.
