Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted on 400 patients visiting the dental OPD of Sharif Medical and Dental College, Lahore from June 2019 to June 2020. A questionnaire regarding level of dental anxiety was given to the patients. Data were collected using a pre-validated scale with a Cronbach alpha value of 0.89; Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS). Chi square test was applied to see the association of socio-demographic factors on dental anxiety. P value ≤0.05 was taken as significant. Results: Our data showed that the association between gender and level of dental anxiety was statistically significant (p-value 0.04). It was found to be no significant association of age, education level and marital status with level of anxiety (p=0.934, p=0.484, p=0.422) respectively. Conclusion: Majority of males and females experien...

Methodology: A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted on 385 Orthopantomograms (OPG) of patients. The study was conducted in the Institute of Dentistry, CMH Lahore Medical College, Lahore, Sharif Medical and Dental College (SMDC) and Services Institute of Medical Sciences (SIMS) over a period of three months from December 2020 to February 2021. The Pell and Gregory classification was used for depth of third molar impaction and ramus relationship of mandibular third molars. Winter`s classification was used for classifying the angle of impaction. Results: The association between presence of caries (p=≤0.001) and external resorption (p=≤0.001) in second mandibular molar with depth of impaction of adjacent an impacted third molar, ramus relationship of third molar with presence of external root resorption in second molar (p=≤0.001) and presen...
