The elderly are frequently diagnosed with Uncompletely impacted molars are prone to inflammation. Identification of the factors causing acute inflammation in solitary mandibular molars without second molars or without first and second molars was conducted using 150 horizontally incompletely impacted mandibular molars in contact with or not in contact with molars in subjects 40 years of age or older. There were nine third molars with acute inflammation out of 96 contacting second molars, and in 22 of 38 solitary molars not contacting either the second or first molars. There was a significant difference between subjects with isolated third molars and those with contacting third molars in terms of median age (p 0.0001). Incompletely impacted molars on the horizontal because of dental loss, inflammation and aging are more likely to occur.ddd
