Mesial Inclination of Impacted Third Molars and Its Propensity to Stimulate External Root Resorption in Second Molars-A Cone-Beam Computed Tomographic Evaluation

摘要

Purpose: To investigate the presence of external root resorption (ERR) in second molars adjacent to horizontally and mesioangular impacted mandibular third molars by cone-beam computed tomography. In addition, patient characteristics (age and gender) and third molar depth were correlated with the presence of ERR.
