Discussion

Descriptive epidemiological study shows angulation and depth of third molars in adults, indicating trends by sex.

Vertical angulation of third molars was the most prevalent finding in both maxilla and mandible, and this suggests common positioning patterns.
Out of 2,621 evaluated radiographs, 657 met the criteria, revealing 1,208 maxillary and 1,196 mandibular third molars showing diverse angulations.
The study utilized digital panoramic radiographs evaluated using defined classification systems to systematically assess third molar impactions.
The findings highlight a higher prevalence of third molar impactions in females, emphasizing the need for tailored dental assessments.

Pereira et al. (2025) studied this question.
