Third Molars Extraction and Periodontal Disease

July 24, 2024 updated by: Malpassi Chiara, Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Senese

Correlation Between Upper Third Molars Extraction and Upper Second Molars Periodontal Disease: a Prospective Clinical Observational Study

The aim of the study is to evaluate the changes in periodontal conditions on the distal aspect of the second maxillary molar after the extraction of the maxillary wisdom tooth. As secondary outcome patient- related and tooth-related factors will be analysed to evaluate their effects on the periodontal varibales during time.
