The predisposing factors of XXXX of mandibular third molars in a Jordanian population.

@entity1 @entity1729 @entity23029
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to identify the most frequently encountered predisposing factors in relation to the etiology of @entity23029 in young adults and to compare these findings with similar studies. METHOD AND MATERIALS: The @entity1 included in this prospective study were those presenting for treatment of signs and symptoms of @entity23029 in the mandibular third molar area during an 8-year period from 1994 to 2001. A standard check sheet of subjective and objective observations was completed, and female @entity1 were asked about menstruation or pregnancy. Each @entity1 with a diagnosis of @entity23029 was interviewed and observations were recorded. @entity1 were asked about the symptoms relating to the @entity23029 . @entity1 were divided into five 5-year age groups ranging from 16 to 40 years. RESULTS: During the 8-year period, 2,151 @entity1 presented diagnosed cases of @entity23029 ; 932 (43.3%) @entity1 were male and 1,219 (56.7%) were female. The peak age of occurrence of @entity23029 varied from 21 to 25 years (55.2% of the @entity1 ). The incidence of @entity23029 was highest in September (207 [9.6%]), followed by April (181 [8.4%]); for subacute @entity23029 , the highest was in February (128 [5.95%]) and April (112 [5.2%]), followed by October (97 [4.5%]). The most frequently seen predisposing factor was @entity1729 in 815 (37.9%) @entity1 , followed by stress in 473 (22%) @entity1 . CONCLUSION: It was concluded that the @entity1729 was the most frequently predisposing factor, which could precipitate @entity23029 .
