OBJECTIVE To investigate the morphological characteristics of the mandible in subjects with impacted mandibular second molars by measuring and analysing the mandible in three dimensions. METHODS In this retrospective study, the data of a total of 52 609 subjects who underwent cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for diagnosis and treatment were reviewed. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 183 subjects with impacted mandibular second molars and 176 age- and sex-matched controls were included. METHODS A retrospective case-control study was designed. The 183 subjects were divided into two groups: group 1 (G1) comprised 120 patients with unilaterally impacted mandibular second molars, and group 2 (G2) comprised 63 patients with bilaterally impacted mandibular second molars. Group 3 (G3) contained 176 age- and sex-matched controls. The mandible was reconstructed with nineteen landmarks using Mimics software. Twelve linear lengths and 3 angles were measured. RESULTS The bilateral germination gap, mandibular body width and gonion width in G1 were significantly lower than those in G3 (P < .05), while the gnathion angle and first molar width values in G1 were significantly higher than those in G3 (P < .05). The results in G2 were similar to those in G1, but the differences between G2 and G3 were greater than those between G1 and G3. There were no significant differences in the other measurements among the groups. CONCLUSIONS The mandibles of the subjects with impacted second molars were constricted in terms of the sagittal length and transverse width.

D008963 Molar The most posterior teeth on either side of the jaw, totaling eight in the deciduous dentition (2 on each side, upper and lower), and usually 12 in the permanent dentition (three on each side, upper and lower). They are grinding teeth, having large crowns and broad chewing surfaces. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p821) Molars

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons. Retrospective Study,Studies, Retrospective,Study, Retrospective
D014095 Tooth, Impacted A tooth that is prevented from erupting by a physical barrier, usually other teeth. Impaction may also result from orientation of the tooth in an other than vertical position in the periodontal structures. Teeth, Impacted,Impacted Teeth,Impacted Tooth
D016022 Case-Control Studies Comparisons that start with the identification of persons with the disease or outcome of interest and a control (comparison, referent) group without the disease or outcome of interest. The relationship of an attribute is examined by comparing both groups with regard to the frequency or levels of outcome over time.
