Of the total 359 patients, 124 (34.5%) patients had impacted teeth and 235 (65.5%) patients had no impaction. One impacted tooth was detected in 56 patients (15.6%), 2 impacted teeth were detected in 47 patients (13.1%), 3 impacted teeth were detected in 12 patients (3.3%), and 4 impacted teeth were detected in 9 patients (2.5%). According to statistical analysis of our study, we found that the impacted mandibular third molars were the most prevalent impacted tooth. There were 98 patients (27.3%) that had impacted mandibular third molars, about 53 of them had unilateral impaction, and 45 had bilateral impaction. The total number of impacted mandibular third molars was 143. The second most prevalent impacted tooth was the maxillary third molar. There were 48 (13.4%) patients with impacted maxillary third molars, around 30 of them had unilateral and 18 had bilateral impaction, with a total of 66 impacted maxillary third molars. Six patients had impacted maxillary, and 2 patients had impacted mandibular canines. Among the impacted maxillary canines, 75% were mesioangular and the remaining were vertical with the majority of them having level B, and only 2 canines were associated with an increase in the follicular space around them. There were 2 impacted mandibular canines, which were distoangular, level B with one of them associated with pathosis. Among 66 impacted maxillary third molars, 63.6% had class C followed by class A then class B. Sinus approximation was noted in 71.2% of impacted maxillary third molars. The greater proportion had vertical angulations followed by oblique then mesioangular and horizontal. Associated pathosis was found in 18.2%, which varied from either loss of lamina dura of adjacent teeth or an increase in the follicular space around them (<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1"><bold>Table 1</bold></xref>). Among 143 impacted mandibular third molars, 77.6% had class II followed by class I then class III. While 44.8% had position A, 44.8% had position B, and 15% had position C. The majority of impacted mandibular third molars had vertical angulation followed by horizontal, mesioangular, oblique, and the least prevalent was distoangular. Associated pathosis was represented in 31.5% (<xref ref-type="table" rid="T2"><bold>Table 2</bold></xref>). The most common associated pathosis with impacted mandibular third molar was loss of lamina dura of adjacent teeth followed by widening of the periodontal ligament space of the impacted or the adjacent tooth, especially at the left side then caries of the impacted or adjacent teeth followed by increase in the follicular space around the impacted tooth. Cyst or tumor formation was not associated with any impacted third molar. Out of 124 patients with impaction, 63% had impacted mandibular third molar, 31% had impacted maxillary third molar. While only 1% of patients with impaction had impacted mandibular canine, 4.6% of patients had impacted maxillary canine, and 2.3% of patients with impaction had impacted maxillary supernumerary. Regarding the variation of impaction prevalence at different age groups. Our results indicated that there was a significant difference between the 2 age groups. The 20-30 age group had the highest prevalence of impaction, but it decreased in the 30-40 age group. The percentage of one impacted tooth was 67.9%, 76.6% for 2 impacted teeth, 91.7% for 3 impacted teeth, and 88.9% for 4 impacted teeth was in age group of 20-30 (<xref ref-type="table" rid="T3"><bold>Table 3</bold></xref>). Our results showed that there was an insignificant difference between the 2 age groups regarding unilateral or bilateral distribution of impacted maxillary canines and mandibular canines. Our results also showed that there was a significant difference between the 2 age groups regarding unilateral or bilateral distribution of impacted maxillary and mandibular wisdom teeth. As our results showed that 66.7% of unilateral maxillary wisdom impaction was in the age range from 20-30 compared with 33.3% in age range from 30-40. Moreover, bilateral maxillary wisdom impaction was 83.3% in age range from 20-30 compared with 16.7% in age range from 30-40. In addition, the results of the present study showed that unilateral mandibular wisdom impaction was 73.6% in the age group 20-30 compared with 26.4% in age group 30-40. Furthermore, bilateral mandibular wisdom impaction was 91.1% in the age range from 20-30 compared with 8.9% in the age range from 30-40 (<xref ref-type="table" rid="T4"><bold>Table 4</bold></xref>). Additionally, our results displayed insignificant differences between the 2 age groups regards different classification of impacted canine and maxillary third molars. However, there was a significant difference between mandibular wisdom ramus relationship classifications between the 2 age groups. For instance, class I was 76% for the age group of 20-30, compared with 24% for the age group of 30-40. Class II was 89.2% for the age group of 20-30, compared with 10.8% for age group of 30-40 (<xref ref-type="table" rid="T5"><bold>Table 5</bold></xref>).</p><table-wrap id="T1" position="float"><label>Table 1</label><caption><p>The frequency and percentage of impacted maxillary third molar according to its crown position, level and angle.</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="SaudiMedJ-36-973-g001"></graphic></table-wrap><table-wrap id="T2" position="float"><label>Table 2</label><caption><p>The frequency and percentage of impacted mandibular third molars according to position, angle and level of the crowns.</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="SaudiMedJ-36-973-g002"></graphic></table-wrap><table-wrap id="T3" position="float"><label>Table 3</label><caption><p>Prevalence of impacted teeth according to different age groups in a study in Saudi Arabia.</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="SaudiMedJ-36-973-g003"></graphic></table-wrap><table-wrap id="T4" position="float"><label>Table 4</label><caption><p>Patterns of retention of third molars by age in a study in Saudi Arabia.</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="SaudiMedJ-36-973-g004"></graphic></table-wrap><table-wrap id="T5" position="float"><label>Table 5</label><caption><p>The variation of third molars impaction patterns among different age groups in a study in Saudi Arabia.</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="SaudiMedJ-36-973-g005"></graphic></table-wrap></sec><sec sec-type="discussion" id="sec1-4"><title>Discussion</title><p>It is of great importance to investigate the oral cavity beyond what is directly noticeable during clinical examination in order to establish an accurate diagnosis.

These results agree with Fardi et al<xref rid="ref1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref> who detected at least one impacted tooth in 170 (13.7%) of Greek patients. Our study found that the impacted mandibular third molars were the most prevalent impacted teeth in our male sample in Al-Madinah, and this was in accordance with Othman et al<xref rid="ref17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref> who found the same distribution among Malaysians. The second most prevalent impacted tooth was the maxillary third molar (13.4%) followed by the maxillary (1.7%) and mandibular canines (0.6%). This was in agreement with Al-Faleh<xref rid="ref18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref> who stated that the most frequently involved teeth in descending order were the mandibular and maxillary third molar, the maxillary canines, the mandibular and maxillary second premolar, and maxillary central incisors, among Pakistani patients.

Tang et al<xref rid="ref21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref> also reported a similar prevalence rate of 27.8% among a Hong Kong population. On the contrary, a previous study by Aydin et al<xref rid="ref22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref> reported an impacted canines incidence of 3.58%. In addition, Zahrani’s study<xref rid="ref23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref> of 4,898 Saudi patients with age range 13 years or older, indicated that 3.6% had at least one impacted cuspid. Rózsa et al<xref rid="ref24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref> analyzed 1,858 children, and their results revealed 101 cases of impacted cuspids. The different results from these studies may arise from racial differences and differences in the methodology of the study. As reported previously,<xref rid="ref25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref> the rarity of impacted canines in the mandible was confirmed. Indeed, most of the impacted canines were located in the maxilla, which had also been established as the predominant location by others.<xref rid="ref26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref> Conversely, Fardi et al<xref rid="ref1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref> reported that among 225 impacted teeth, the most frequently affected teeth were the canines (59.6%), followed by premolars (19.1%), and supernumerary teeth (15.1%), while the incidence of impacted molars was substantially lower (6.2%). We reported that 53% of impacted mandibular third molars had vertical angulation, followed by horizontal, mesioangular, and oblique, and the least prevalent was distoangular. This was in disagreement with Bokhari et al<xref rid="ref27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref> who stated that among the impacted mandibular third molars, most of the patients had mesio-angular impaction (50.75%), and only 1.4% of the patients had distoangular impaction.</p><p>While our study declared that the greater proportion of impacted maxillary third molar had vertical angulations followed by oblique then mesioangular and horizontal. This was in harmony with Bokhari et al,<xref rid="ref27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref> where the vertical impaction was the most common type in the maxillary arch (52%), and horizontal impaction was the least prevalent one (1.5%). Conversely, Jung and Cho<xref rid="ref28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref> found that horizontal impaction was most frequent in mandibular third molars. Our study observed that the most prevalent associated pathosis with impaction was loss of lamina dura of adjacent teeth, followed by widening of the periodontal ligament space of the impacted or the adjacent tooth, then caries of the impacted or adjacent teeth, followed by increase in the follicular space around the impacted tooth. This was in dissimilarity with Jung and Cho<xref rid="ref28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref> who affirmed that the most frequently observed pathology was caries (5.4% of mandibular third molars). Cyst or tumor formation was not associated with any impacted third molar in the present study. Jung and Cho<xref rid="ref28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref> also claimed that cysts rarely developed with impaction. This prevalence was similar to that of a previous study by Polat et al,<xref rid="ref29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref> but lower than in other studies such as Punwutikorn et al,<xref rid="ref30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref> and Al-Khateeb and Bataineh.<xref rid="ref31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref> We reported that there was significant difference between the 20 to 30 age group and the 30 to 40 age group. The 20-30 age group had the highest prevalence of impaction, but it decrease in the 30-40 age group. This result agrees with Gunduz et al<xref rid="ref32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref> who conducted their research on Turkish patients. Jung and Cho<xref rid="ref28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref> also found that older patients had fewer third molars. Supporting our results, a similar study was carried out among a Saudi population in the Asir region; they concluded that the highest incidence of tooth impaction was found in the age group of 20-25 years.<xref rid="ref27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref> The higher impaction prevalence in the younger age group could be explained by the increased number of missing investigated wisdom teeth for the above 30 age group, than the age group of less than 30 years. For example, among 388 investigated for impacted maxillary wisdom molar, 98 teeth were missed. Surprisingly only 28 missed teeth at age 20-29 and 70 missed teeth at age 30 and above.</p><p>The results of the present study showed that the percentage of unilateral mandibular wisdom impaction was 73.6%, while bilateral mandibular wisdom impaction was 91.1% in age group 20-30. Unlike the results found by Eshghpour et al,<xref rid="ref33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref> who performed a study on 489 Iranian male patients with a mean age of participants of 25.44 ± 6.12. A total of 154 (31.49%) had bilateral impacted mandibular third molars, and 109 (22.29%) patients had unilateral impaction. These variations in results may be due to racial differences or due to variation of sample.<xref rid="ref33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref> Our results displayed a significant difference between mandibular wisdom ramus relationship classification between the 2 age groups. For instance, class II showed the highest percent of occurrence at 89.2% for the 20-30 age group, followed by class I at 76% for the same age group. This was reinforced by Eshghpour et al,<xref rid="ref33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref> who stated that class II was significantly prevalent followed by class I and class III.</p><sec id="sec2-3"><title>Study limitations</title><p>Although the incidence of impacted teeth does not differ significantly between genders, the limitation of the present study was that it was conducted only in male patients. This was because the female x-ray department in the Taibah University Dental Clinics was not open at the time the research was carried out.</p><p>In conclusion, the prevalence and pattern of impacted third molars among Saudi subjects are almost similar to other racial populations. The incidence of impaction decreases with age and the number of missing wisdom teeth increases with age. Although the percentage of associated pathosis is considerably low, it is essential to carry out regular oral examinations to preserve asymptomatic impacted teeth in good health.</p></sec></sec></body><back><sec id="sec1-5"><title></title><boxed-text position="float"><caption><title>Authorship Entitlement</title></caption><p>Excerpts from the Uniform Requirements for</p><p>Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals updated November 2003.</p><p>Available from <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.icmje.org">www.icmje.org</ext-link></p><p>The international Committee of Medical Journal Editors has recommended the following criteria for authorship; these criteria are still appropriate for those journals that distinguish authors from other contributors.</p><p>Authorship credit should be based on 1) substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; 2) intellectual content; and 3) final approval of the version to be published.
