Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to determine whether there was a difference in the duration it required to extract impacted molars based on the sex of the patient. Methods: In this study, 108 patients with impacted mandibular third molars who attended the Tikrit Dental College (50% of them were men, aged 18–30) were included. The impactions were classified using the Winter’s method. The surgery duration was defined as the time between incision and final suturing. Data were analyzed by point-biserial correlation and chi-squared test using R software. Results: The frequencies of different types of impactions were similar between males and females (P ˃ 0.05). The most common type of impaction was mesioangular, followed by distoangular, straight, and horizontal. Negatively very weak correlation found between gender and third molar surgery duration (r = −0.15, P = 0.11, 95% CI −0.037–0.331). Conclusion: No significant correlation among gender and duration of surgery was found. To validate the findings of this study, further research with a larger sample size is needed.

性别与第三磨牙手术时间的相关性评估

引言：这项研究旨在确定拔出阻生磨牙所需的时间是否因患者的性别而异。方法：在本研究中，纳入了108名就读于提克里特牙科学院的下颌第三磨牙阻生患者（其中50%为男性，年龄在18-30岁之间）。使用温特方法对影响进行了分类。手术持续时间定义为从切开到最后缝合之间的时间。数据分析采用点双序列相关和卡方检验，使用R软件。结果：不同类型的嵌塞在男性和女性之间的发生频率相似（P＜0.05）。最常见的嵌塞类型是近侧嵌塞，其次是双侧嵌塞、直嵌塞和水平嵌塞。性别与第三磨牙手术持续时间之间存在极为微弱的负相关性（r = −0.15，P = 0.11，95%CI−0.037–0.331）。结论：性别和手术时间之间没有显著相关性。为了验证这项研究的发现，还需要更大样本量的进一步研究。
