Study Description

Brief Summary

Distal surfaces of second molars adjacent to wisdom teeth are always at risk for caries and external root resorption. The incidence of caries is high, especially in partially impacted third molars in mesioangular and horizontal positions. In this study, investigators aimed to examine the caries correlation in the distal second molar with the DMFT scores of the participants.
