Abstract

We have developed a simple, but comprehensive proforma for evaluating mandibular third molar impactions and formulating a proper treatment plan. This proforma is aimed at residents in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, to help them during their initial phase, in evaluating and treating impacted mandibular third molars. This comprehensive proforma will help them to analyse third molar impactions, assess and anticipate the difficulty, judge intraoperative problems they might encounter, and evaluate the patient at post operative follow-up.
