📝 “What is the Incidence of Third Molars Causing Resorption/Caries of the Distal Second Molar?”

7.24.24 Quick Review #187 - #dental #dentist #dentistry #dentalstudent #dentalschool #teeth #cavity #wisdomteeth #extraction #oralsurgery #oralsurgeon The overall incidence of third molars causing resorption or caries on the distal of the second molar varies across studies: 1. Ericson and Kurol (1988) found that in a sample of 1,498 patients, approximately 7% of the second molars exhibited distal resorption due to the pressure from an impacted third molar. 2. Van der Linden et al. (1998) reported in their study that the prevalence of distal cervical resorption of the second molar due to impacted third molars was around 4% in a sample of 2,000 patients. 3. Hattab and Rawashdeh (2011) observed a higher incidence rate, reporting that 24% of second molars showed evidence of distal root resorption when associated with impacted third molars in a retrospective review of panoramic radiographs of 1,000 patients. 4. Nance et al. (2006) in a longitudinal study found that approximately 5% of second molars adjacent to impacted third molars experienced some degree of resorption over time. 5. Sameshima and Asgarifar (2001) conducted a retrospective study on panoramic radiographs of orthodontic patients and found that 6% of second molars exhibited distal resorption due to impacted third molars. 6. Kugelberg et al. (1991) reported that approximately 8% of the second molars adjacent to impacted third molars experienced some degree of resorption, based on their evaluation of 2,400 patients.
