Abstract

Objectives: To describe the clinical characteristics of the lower wisdom teeth of patients with indications for extraction of RKHD when visiting the dental clinic at the Institute of Odonto-Stomatology and Hanoi Medical University Hospital in 2021-2022. Subjects and methods: the patient was assigned to extract RKHD at the Institute of Odonto-Stomatology and Hanoi Medical University Hospital. Cross-sectional descriptive study.  Results: The percentage of women with RA problems was higher than that of men, accounting for 57.1%, the average age was 27 years old (27 ± 4.7) and the age group > 25 accounted for a high rate with 63.7% . The most common reason for going to the doctor was pain (44.2%). The boss beneficial status accounted for 61.1% of the total subjects. Bleeding gums accounted for 17.3% of the total subjects. The likelihood of pain in the group of 18-25 years old was 1.86 times higher than that of the group >25 years old (p < 0.05). The likelihood of tooth decay of the 18-25 year old group was 0.37 times lower than the caries risk of the age group > 25 years old (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The reason for swelling and pain in the lower wisdom teeth area accounts for the most proportion. The rate of deviated RKHD is higher in women than in men. The prevalence of risks and complications of RKHD increases with age.
