Description
Shehab Ahmed Hamad studies how often a stuck wisdom tooth eats into the root of the molar in front of it. Published in 2024, the retrospective study reviews 750 panoramic X-rays from a teaching hospital, taken between 2021 and 2024, in patients over sixteen with impacted third molars. It records the damage by age, sex, symptoms, site, and severity.
Root resorption appeared in 32 cases, about four percent. Most cases were mild, clustered in the sixteen to twenty-five age group, and sat in the middle third of the root. Teeth tilted toward the front drove about two thirds of cases, and the deepest position class drove nearly all. The author urges weighing this risk when judging an impacted tooth.
