Dental impaction is a pathological situation where a tooth does not reach its normal functional position. The affected third molars are commonly encountered in routine dental practice. The impaction rate is higher for the third molars compared to the other teeth. The third mandibular molar impaction is said to be due to the insufficient space between the distal part of the second mandibular molar and the anterior edge of the ascending ramus of the mandible. The teeth included may remain asymptomatic or may be associated with various pathologies such as caries, pericoronitis, cysts, tumors and also root resorption of the adjacent tooth. Although various classifications exist in the literature, none of them deals with the combined clinical and radiological evaluation of the affected third molar. A document search using the advanced functionalities of various databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Google Scholar, Directory of Open Access Journals and Cochrane electronic database was carried out. Keywords like impaction, mandibular third molar, mandibular third molar included, complications, anatomy, lesion of the inferior alveolar nerve, lesion of the lingual nerve were used to search the databases. A total of 826 articles were examined and 50 articles were included in the review which was obtained from 1980 to February 2015. In this article, the authors have proposed a classification based on the clinical and radiological evaluation of the third molar mandibular impacted.
