For this purpose, database research was performed on a whole PUBMED/MEDLINE by using key words ¡°mandibular third molars¡± and ¡°angle fractures¡±. The data obtained from 9 articles that had a similar statistical analysis; and that included mandibular angle fractures and other mandibular fractures as a control group were evaluated statistically. In these 9 retrospective cohort studies, the sum of cases was 6466 and the sum of mandibular angle fractures was 1769. The analysis of articles shows a relative risk for a mandibula to fracture, comparing patients with and without third molars, ranging from 1,2 to 3.6. The estimated relative risk across the 9 studies was 2.14 (95% CI 1.92¨C2.39). The results obtained in this study suggest that the presence of lower third molar may double risk of an angle fracture of the mandible. Keywords: Mandibular angle fractures, mandibular third molars, relative risk. ZET Bu makalenin amac , mandibular 3. molar di e sahip olan ve olmayan bireylerde mandibula angulus k r olu ma riskinin belirlenmesidir. Bu ama la, ¡°mandibular third molars¡± ve ¡°angle fractures¡± anahtar kelimeleri kullan larak PUBMED/MEDLINE veri taban nda literat¨¹r taramas ger ekle tirildi. Birbirine benzer istatiksel analiz yapm ve mandibula angulus k r klar ile beraber kontrol grubu olarak kabul edilebilecek ekilde di er mandibula k r klar n al malar na dahil etmi 9 adet makaleden elde edilen veriler istatiksel olarak de erlendirildi. Bu makalelerdeki retrospektif kohort al madaki vaka say s 6466 ve mandibula angulus k r say s 1769¡¯idi. al malardaki r latif risk de erleri, 1,2 ile 3,6 aras nda hesapland . Ayr ca r latif risk ortalamas n n 2,14 oldu u belirlendi (%95 g¨¹ven aral 1,92¨C2,39). Sonu olarak mandibular 3. molar di e sahip olan bireylerin olmayanlara g re ortalama 2 kat daha fazla mandibula angulus k r olu ma riskine sahip olduklar bulundu. %K Mandibula angulus k r %K mandibular ¨¹ ¨¹nc¨¹ molarlar %K relatif risk %U http://dergi.cumhuriyet.edu.tr/ojs/index.php/dishekimligi/article/view/1292
