Study of mineralization of second and third mandibular molars: cross-sectional study of children and adolescents in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Growth and development of second and third molars have a special place in the research of development of permanent teeth. It is important to know when the development of second molars ends for the possibility of using the most common method for estimating the age at a given time span in children. It is also important to take advantage of assessing the development of the second molar to predict agenesis of the third molars. The aim of this study is to show the mean values and ranges of age at developmental stages, by Moorees, Fanning and Hunt (1963), of second and third molars on the left side of the lower jaw, on a representative sample of 2, 500 panoramic images of children and adolescents aged 5-23 years from Bosnia and Herzegovina. It will be shown a range of developmental stages of the second molar to the crypt stage of the third molars, and odds ratios of agenesis of third molars to each development stage of the development of the second molar.
