Prediction of lower third molar eruption is crucial for its timely extraction. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to investigate the prediction of lower third molar eruption and its uprighting with the assistance of an artificial intelligence (AI) tool. The secondary aim was identifying the incidence of fully erupted lower third molars with hygienic cleansability. In total, 771 patients having two panoramic radiographs were recruited, where the first radiograph was acquired at 8-15 years of age (T1) and the second acquisition was between 16 and 23 years (T2). The predictive model for third molar eruption could not be obtained as few teeth reached full eruption. However, uprighting model at T2 showed that in cases with sufficient retromolar space, an initial angulation of < 32° predicted uprighting. Full eruption was observed for 13.9% of the teeth, and only 1.7% showed hygienic cleansability. The predictions model of third molar uprighting could act as a valuable aid for guiding a clinician with the decision-making process of extracting third molars which fail to erupt in an upright fashion. In addition, a low incidence of fully erupted molars with hygienic cleansability suggest that a clinician might opt for prophylactic extraction.

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.
