- Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors associated with mandibular third molar extraction difficulty. Methods: The effect of demographic, clinical, radiological datas and anxiety level on the extraction difficulty level of the patients who had mandibular third molar extraction were evaluated. The extraction time and a 100-mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) filled by the surgeon were used to determine the difficulty of mandibular third molar extraction. Results: Based on the multivariate regression analyzes, maximum mouth opening (p<0.001), the relationship of the tooth with the ramus and its depth (p<0.001, p=0.032), root number (p =0.003), root-mandibular canal relationship (p=0.008) and anxiety level (p<0.001) were significant predictors for operation time. VAS extraction difficulty level was significantly associated with maximum mouth opening (p<0.001), depth level of the tooth (p<0.001), root number (p=0.042), root-mandibular canal relationship (p<0.007) and anxiety level (p<0.001). Discussion and Conclusion: Although many factors contribute to extraction difficulty of mandibular third molar extraction, maximum mouth opening, relationship of the tooth with the ramus and anxiety level are more effective on the extraction time, and maximum mouth opening, depth level of the tooth and the anxiety level appears to be more effective for VAS extraction difficulty scores.
