Extraction of asymptomatic and pathology free Impacted Third Molars (ITMs) is generally not recommended. Objectives: To determine the frequency of reasons associated with extraction of Impacted Third Molars (ITMs). Subjects and methods: This retrospective analysis was performed at Fatima Jinnah Dental College and Hospital. Patients’ surgical record and radio-graph were analyzed to find out the reasons of extraction in Impacted Third Molars (ITMs) teeth. Results: Mean age was 28.04 years +/7.3 standard deviation. Females were more common 66 (62.9%) than the males and lower molars were more commonly involved impacted teeth as compared to maxillary molars. Most common reason of extraction was pain due to caries 49 (38%) followed by pericoronitis. DOI: 10.29011/JOCR-103.100103

Methods: A cross sectional survey was done at Fatima Jinnah Dental College and Hospital Trust from 1st June 2018 till 30th June 2018. A pretested, close ended questionnaire was designed to collect responses of 50 final year dental students. Data was entered and analyzed by SPSS Version 20. Frequency percentages were analyzed. Results: Among 50 dental students 48 (96%) preferred to refer patients with facial trauma to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS), 44 (88%) preferred to refer patients with jaw deformities to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS), 32 (64%) to TMJ Disorders, lip cancer 23 (46%), salivary gland disorders 17 (34%), cleft lip and palate 16 (32%), impacted teeth 4 (8%) to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS). Out of 50 stu...
