Survival Analysis for Any Incident Pathology on Distal of Adjacent Second Molar
| Third Molar Statusa | Relative Risk | 95% Confidence Interval | pa |
|---|---|---|---|
| Absent | Reference | — | < .0001 |
| Erupted | 1.74 | 1.34, 2.25 | |
| Soft tissue impaction | 4.88 | 2.62, 9.08 | |
| Bony impaction | 2.16 | 1.56, 2.99 |
Value is based on marginal multivariate survival regression models comparing third molar status impact on incident pathology of distal of adjacent second molars while adjusting for age, smoking status, and educational status.
