Abstract

Objectives: A pathological condition known as dental impaction occurs when a tooth is unable or unable to erupt into its natural position for function. The first choice method for determining how the third molars relate to anatomic formations is to use panoramic radiographs. To reduce the likelihood of complications during the surgical extraction of impacted teeth, it is crucial to conduct the required radiological and clinical examinations and obtain a complete medical history prior to the procedure. The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between Maxillary impacted teeth and Skeletal Facial types. Materials and Methods: The third molar locations of patients with cephalometric and panoramic radiographs, as well as their relationships with the facial extraoral view, were examined in the current retrospective investigation. With ethical consent, the data was gathered from patients who were reported to our esteemed hospital between March 2021 and April 2023.Using SPSS, the obtained data were assessed. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software. Results: From the obtained results we can say that class 1 maxillary third molar impactions were mostly seen with patients with mesocephalic skeletal profile, class 2 maxillary third molar impactions were mostly seen in dolichocephalic and patients with brachycephalic shows class 3 type of maxillary third molar impactions. Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, it was found that Class 1 maxillary third molar impactions are more common in patients with mesocephalic skeletal profiles, class 2 impactions are more common in dolichocephalic patients, and class 1 impactions are more common in brachycephalic patients. Thus, it can be concluded that maxillary impacted third molars are significantly associated with Skeletal facial types.
