Its presence can be associated with complications including the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) symptoms. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the prevalence of impacted mandibular third molar (IMTM), associated pathologies, and its correlation with TMJ morphology in a hospital\u2010based Spanish cohort.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We retrospectively reviewed existing orthopantomographs (OPGs) records, panoramic images of patients aged \u226518 with at least one IMTM who attended the Dental Hospital of the University of Barcelona (HOUB) between September 2021 and May 2023.

The prevalence rate of IMTM was 86.88%, with the left side commonly involved. On both sides, oval\u2010shaped condyle and vertical IMTM were the most common, with dental caries and bone loss being the frequently observed pathologies. Sclerotic changes were depicted in 15% (95% CI: 8.2%\u221224.7%) of the cases on both sides of TMJ. On the other hand, no statistically significant associations were noticed between the pathologies and condyle shape (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &gt; 0.05, Cram\u00e9r\u2019s\n                      <jats:italic>V<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.25).
