Abstract

Teeth dimension is the factor influenced the incidence of tooth
impaction. The most related factor with teeth dimension is teeth form.
This study was aimed to determine the effect of teeth form on the
incidence of lower third impaction. It was carried out on Buginese and
Torajanese in South Sulawesi. The samples consist of 1! 5 Buginese
and 115 Torajanese, the age range from 20-25 years old with all
natural mandibular teeth including second molar. After impression of
both upper and lower teeth was taken, each, tooth form was
determined by measurement with trubite tooth indicator. The frequency
distribution and coefficient corelation analysis test showed that there
was no significant difference between teeth form and incidence of
lower third molar impaction in Buginese and Torajanese.
