Abstract
Dynamic monitoring of the patient for 3 years is described. Based on the cone beam computed tomography data, the linear and angular parameters of the mandible and the location of the third molar were evaluated, which eventually led to independent tooth eruption.
Keywords: lower third molars, eruption, cone beam computed tomography, diagnostics.
