The present study was conducted to evaluate mandibular third molar position as a risk factor for pericoronitis.
The present study was conducted on 145 subjects of both genders. The clinical symptoms and signs such as redness, pus discharge, pain, and tenderness over pericoronal flap were assessed. All candidates were subjected to CBCT scan evaluation for a third molar position such as vertical, mesioangular, distoangular, and horizontal type.
Maximum number of cases of pericoronitis was observed in the age group 18-28 years (80) followed by 28-38 years seen in 47 cases, and 38-48 years seen in 28 cases. The most common type of impaction was mesioangular seen in 48 females and 42 males, followed by vertical in 22 females and 18 males, distoangular in 8 females and 10 males and horizontal in 2 females and 5 males. Maximum clinical features of swelling, trismus, dysphagia, and enlarged lymph nodes were seen in patients with mesioangular impaction followed by vertical impaction.
Maximum number of pericoronitis cases was seen in the age group 18-28 years and most commonly mesioangular impactions were observed with pericoronitis.
本研究旨在评估下颌第三磨牙位置作为冠周炎危险因素的情况。
本研究对145名男女受试者进行。评估临床症状和体征，如冠周瓣的发红、脓性分泌物、疼痛和压痛。所有受试者均接受CBCT扫描以评估第三磨牙的位置，如垂直型、近中倾斜型、远中倾斜型和水平型。
冠周炎病例数最多的年龄组为18 - 28岁（80例），其次是28 - 38岁（47例），38 - 48岁（28例）。最常见的阻生类型是近中倾斜型，女性48例，男性42例，其次是垂直型，女性22例，男性18例，远中倾斜型，女性8例，男性10例，水平型，女性2例，男性5例。近中倾斜阻生患者出现肿胀、牙关紧闭、吞咽困难和淋巴结肿大等临床特征最多，其次是垂直阻生。
冠周炎病例数最多的年龄组为18 - 28岁，冠周炎患者中最常见的阻生类型是近中倾斜型。
