The objective of the study was to estimate the incidence of type of impaction in patients visiting Saveetha Dental Hospital. Tooth impaction is a pathological situation in which a tooth can not or will not erupt into its normal functioning position. This problem can be solved by dental treatment. The mandibular third molars are the most frequently impacted teeth that can be found in humans. The surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar is one of the most commonly performed minor oral surgical procedures in maxillofacial surgery.
