Is There a Possible Association between Skeletal Face Types and Third Molar Impaction? A Retrospective Radiographic Study

Objective Third molar impaction is seen much more than impaction of any other tooth as they are the last teeth to erupt. Inadequate retromolar space and the direction of eruption may be contributing factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between third molar impaction and different skeletal face types.
