Abstract
The present meta-analysis provides further evidence associating the presence of M3s with an increased risk of mandibular angle fractures and a simultaneously decreased risk of mandibular condylar fracture. Because of potentially more serious complications associated with condylar fracture, clinicians should carefully consider the decision to remove M3s to decrease the risk of mandibular angle fracture.
