Age-Specific Angulation of Unerupted Human Third Molar Teeth in a Cross-Sectional Sample

摘要

For males aged 18 to 21, the angulation of unerupted third molars was unrelated to age. A counterbalancing loss of data resulting from tooth eruption and extraction accounted for this null finding. The value of age-specific angulation in determining whether a tooth will eventually erupt may be limited.
