Influence of Asymmetrical Eruption and Impaction Angulation of the Wisdom Teeth on the Craniofacial Morphology.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesCongenital absence of the wisdom teeth is correlated with the jaw morphology; however, no study has investigated the correlation between the direction of eruption or impaction of the wisdom teeth and jaw morphology. This study aimed to investigate whether differences in the direction of eruption or impaction between the bilateral wisdom teeth affect the jaw morphology.
methodsThe study included patients with bilateral wisdom teeth who underwent computed tomography imaging prior to wisdom-tooth extraction. The direction of eruption or impaction of the wisdom teeth was evaluated, and patients were divided into the same-angle and different-angle groups based on the directions of eruption or impaction of the bilateral mandibular wisdom teeth. Lateral and frontal cephalometric images were reconstructed using computed tomography data, and three-dimensional measurements of the mandibular ramus and body were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe same- and different-angle groups included 70 and 81 patients, respectively. Lateral cephalometric analysis revealed significant differences in angle ANB (p=0.001), the incisor-mandibular plane angle (p=0.032), the difference in the Menton-Anterior notch distance (p=0.036), and the maxillo-mandibular midline angle (p=0.006) between the groups. However, three-dimensional measurements revealed no significant differences between the groups.
conclusionsThis study showed that patients with dissimilar directions of eruption or impaction of the bilateral mandibular wisdom teeth tend to have mandibular asymmetry. The findings in this study may facilitate the diagnosis of jaw deformities based on an analysis of the direction of eruption or impaction of the wisdom teeth.
