Abstract
PURPOSE: In recent era of computer and software technology, it is necessary to introduce software which helps in routine assessment of surgical procedures practiced in oral surgery. Removal of impacted third molar is a common procedure. It is hard to evaluate factors that complicate removal of impacted third molars because of the large variation among patients and the difficulty in creating a study design. In this article, we have described about our newly designed software developed in order to assess the difficulty in extracting impacted mandibular third molars accurately, thereby reducing the bias faced during the assessment of difficulty in removing impacted mandibular third molar. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A software is designed using C# computer language and Windows Presentation Foundation Framework. RESULTS: The measurements and angulations are accurately calculated by this software which helps to bring about uniformity in results, thus minimizing the bias during clinical as well as study purposes. CONCLUSION: Mandibular third molar difficulty level calculator can be useful software for dental practitioners in day-to-day practice. Dental students and professionals should be made aware of this software so as to utilize it to the utmost possible level. © The Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of India 2019.
