Aim: The present retrospective study aims to evaluate the prevalence of impacted third molars and investigate how their eruption level and angulation affect the occurrence of caries in the distal cervical region of adjacent teeth. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated panoramic radiographs from 40 patients, each with at least one impacted third molar, using a
standardized panoramic x-ray device.
