Signs of disease in third molars

Although third molars in young adult dental patients have been researched widely, less is known about third molars in nonpatient populations. Some nationwide surveys or studies of smaller subsamples exist, but not all report on the prevalence of third molars or include extraoral and intraoral radiographs. As part of the Health 2000 Survey in Finland, a survey was conducted to gather comprehensive third molar data, including radiographic findings, from the Finnish population age 30 years or older.
