Influence of Asymmetrical Eruption and Impaction Angulation of the Wisdom Teeth on the Craniofacial Morphology
This study showed that patients with dissimilar directions of eruption or impaction of the bilateral mandibular wisdom teeth tend to have mandibular asymmetry. The findings in this study may facilitate the diagnosis of jaw deformities based on an analysis of the direction of eruption or impaction of the wisdom teeth.
