Temporomandibular disorders(TMD) are defined as a collective term embracing a number of clinical problems
involving the TMJ, masticatory muscles, or both.Impacted third molar has the ability to cause occlusal disharmony
which inturn could be one of the etiological factor of temporomandibular disorder.The aim of this study was to
assess the impacted third molars with age,gender,types of temporomandibular joint disorders. This study is a
university set up study conducted in saveetha dental College Chennai. A retrospective study with a sample size
of 52 TMDs patients were included. Data collection was done from 86,000 patients reports who came for
various dental treatments between the period of June 2019 to March 2020.The collected data were grouped
based on their age,gender,type of TMDs and impacted third molars and data was analysed by chi-square
test.Most common age group with impacted third molars was 31 to 40 years(46.1%).Male patients 51.92% was
most common compared to female patients 48.08%.Right TMD was more prevalent than left TMDs (57.69%
versus 42.31%).Right side impacted third molars was more common than left side impacted third molars among
TMD patients showing statistically significant difference between the impacted third molar and TMDs p-
0.000(P<0.05), statistically significant).Within the limitation of the current study it was observed that TMD and
impacted third molars is most prevalent in the age group of 31 to 40 years and males are most commonly
