Abstract

Background: Third molar that fail to attain functional position may be pathologic in addition to causing potential harm to adjacent second molars. Therefore, the decision to retain or remove asymptomatic impacted or non impacted third molars presents a significant challenge. Aim: To evaluate influence of Third Molars on Pathologies of Adjacent Second Molars. Materials and methods: In a retrospective cross- sectional study, a total of 100 CBCT were evaluated in the age group of 17 to 60 year. Radiographic status of M3s, presence of distal caries, external root resorption(ERR), alveolar bone loss(ABL) of A-M2s were assessed by CBCT. Prevalence of A-M2 pathologies and association between N-M3s and pathologies of A-M2s were analyzed. Results: CBCTs from 100 patients were included in the present study. Among these patients, we observed retained (both impacted and nonimpacted M3s) 3rd molars cause more caries, ERR, ABL to A-M2s compared to the A-2Ms where 3 rd molars were absent. Mandibular M3s cause more ABL to A-2Ms compared to maxillary 3Ms otherwise caries and ERR do not show any significant difference. Maxillary and mandibular non impacted 3Ms compared to impacted 3Ms cause significant amount of alveolar bone loss to adjacent 2nd molars. Conclusion: Presence of non impacted 3rd molars, even if they are asymptomatic, represents an important risk factor for periodontal health of adjacent 2nd molars. This finding should be considered during clinical decision making regarding retention or extraction of nonimpacted 3rd molars, especially when these teeth are non-functional or when their removal will not affect overall occlusal function.
