Abstract
Comparisons were made between a group of 45 subjects with impacted lower third molars and a group of 50 subjects whose lower third molars had erupted, by means of various measurements made on cephalometric radiographs. Both these groups formed part of a longitudinal study of third molar development. Examination of the impacted group showed three different ways in which impactions could develop.
