Sponsor's own description
Accuracy of the variables used in Wharfe assessment and Pederson difficulty index for impacted mandibular third molar surgery. The lower 3rd molar tooth is one of the most frequently impacted teeth. Its prevalence ranges from 30.3% to 68.6% worldwide according to a study conducted by Sekhar, 2020. The impaction of a tooth can be defined as a pathological condition in which eruption of tooth is not normal i.e. it is not erupted as expected within a specific time period. The impaction renders the affected tooth as non-functional due to its postural instability/ abnormal position. The normal tooth eruption is dependent on several local as well as systemic factors. Normal eruption can be altered by neighboring tooth, excessive soft tissue in the surrounding, or the dense overlying bone. Race and Ethnicity an also affect/ alter the impaction rate. The removal of 3rd mandibular molar/ wisdom tooth is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures, being done in dental clinics on daily basis. To predict the difficulty level of this procedure for impacted lower 3rd molar, no scoring system/ scale is considered sufficient i.e. every scale takes some factors into account, while missing some factors, so clinically not very much reliable. Some of the proposed scales/ models which are clinically in use are as follows: WHARFE's, Pederson's, Winter's, and Pell and Gregory's model.
