title: [Frequency of fused roots, divergent separation, convergent separation, rectilinear separation and delaceration of third molars].
abstract: In a sample of Brazilian white young adults between 18-23 years old, the A.A. studied the third molar roots, in anatomical aspects, using the orthopantomographic radiographic method. They concluded that the superior third molar shows a biggest number of fusionated roots (19.50% in the right side and 19.66% in the left side) and the inferior third molar shows a biggest number of separated roots (21.48% in the right side and 19.66% in the left side).
