Abstract
Third molars usually erupt within the age of 17 – 21years. Usually, due to the evolution of human jaws, the size is decreasing leading to the impacted tooth. An impacted tooth may lead to external resorption of the adjacent tooth, trismus, infection, etc. Many studies have been reported in the literature for evaluating the surgical difficulty and postoperative complications secondary to impacted third molars. This study includes a sample of 100 subjects evaluated for the surgical difficulty and postoperative complications. Various demographic, radiological, and intraoperative factors were evaluated which may lead to postoperative complications. Factors responsible for postoperative sequelae were also evaluated with complications. Postoperative pain after 4 hours and 7 days was assessed to mark the factors commonly responsible. Pain at 7th postoperative day was significant involving factors like fully impacted, horizontal impaction, level C, no/very little retromolar space, and root contact. Postoperative complications were not reported in this study.
