Periodontal Diseases
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate the changes in periodontal conditions on the distal aspect of the second maxillary molar after the extraction of the maxillary wisdom tooth. As secondary outcome patient- related and tooth-related factors will be analysed to evaluate their effects on the periodontal varibales during time.
