Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate transversally the clinical correlation between lower incisor
crowding and mandible third molar.
Study
Design: Three hundred healthy volunteers (134 male and 166
female), aged 20.4 (±2.4) years-old were submitted to a complete clinical examination and filled up a questionnaire about gender, age, total teeth number and
presence or absence of superior and inferior third molar. After a recent panoramic radiography were evaluated. The
multiple logistic regression showed that none of the studied factors influenced the mandibular incisor crowding.
Results: The proportion of both molars present or both absent was higher than the other conditions (Chi-square,
p<.0001). The multiple logistic regression showed that any of the studied factors, influenced (p>.05) the mandibular incisor crowding. Despite the statistical significance, wear orthodontics appliances showed a little correlation
(odds ratios < 1.0) in the mandibular incisor crowding.
Conclusion: Presence of maxillary and/or mandibular third molars has no relation with the lower incisor crowding.
