Abstract
The objective of the study was to compare bone healing after surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar in ages group younger than or equal to 25 years and elder to 25 years using panoramic radiograph. Forty-two volunteer patients were equally divided into two groups. Panoramic radiographs were taken at the time of preoperative and more than six months postoperative. All radiographic images were analyzed for the bone healing distal to mandibular second molar by one observer (program Sidexis XG 2.52,Germany). The data were analyzed using t-test for independent means. The bone healing in both groups had no statistically significant difference. From this study,there was no difference bone healing at distal to mandibular second molar after surgical removal impacted mandibular third molar in ages group between younger than or equal 25 years and elder to 25 years
