Abstract

epidemiology impaction molar, lower third
The wisdom tooth is the last permanent tooth to erupt into the oral cavity. Its eruption, however, can be impeded and the tooth may become impacted. The incidence of such a condition may be influenced by local as well as racial factors. In this article, an attempt was made to establish the incidence of impacted wisdom teeth in a small sample of the Saudi population.
