The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of maxillary third molar impaction and angulation, as well as its relationship to the maxillary sinus, in a group of Yemeni students. Panoramic x-rays were used to assess 200 students, 102 men and 98 females, in this retrospective investigation. Chi-square tests were used to assess age, gender, maxillary sinus approximation to maxillary third molar roots, depth of impaction, and angulation. A total of 327 maxillary third molars were examined; the most congenitally missing maxillary third molar was on the right side, and females (10.25%) had more maxillary third molars engaged in the maxillary sinus than males (8.0%) (4.9%). Type A (52.9%) was the most common according to Pell and Gregory's classification, although vertical angulations of the maxillary third molar were seen more frequently (85.32%). Congenitally missing maxillary third molars are more common in females, and position A was the most common among the maxillary third molars on a vertical level.
