Abstract

Objective: To determine the frequency, pattern, and outcome of distal cervical caries of mandibular second molar associated with an impacted mandibular third molar.
Material and Methods:This prospective study was performed in the oral and maxillofacial surgery department, Khyber College of Dentistry Peshawar from 1st August 2017 to 31st December 2017. Using a Consecutive sampling technique, a total of 200 patients were reviewed. Patients with age 17 to 60 years with a mean age of 26.5 years and patients from both gender s were included in the study. Medically compromised patients were excluded from the study.
Results:Out of total 200 patients the frequency of distal cervical caries of mandibular 2nd molar (M2) was 46.5% (n=93). Maximum cases of distal cervical caries(DCC) of mandibular second molar (M2) were reported with mesioangular, Depth A, Class 1 mandibular third molar impaction and when the occlusal surface of the impacted mandibular third molar impaction was contacting at the cervical line of an impacted tooth. Males were more affected than female (M: F 1.6:1). The third decade of life was the most common age group affected the most (28%).
Conclusion: Prophylactic removal of impacted mandibular third molar is indicated in patients having impacted mandibular third molar with mesioangular, depth A, class 1, contacting at the cervical line of a second mandibular molar.
