Popis: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between ramus height, gonial angle and impaction classifications of mandibular third molars. A total of 829 mandibular third molars in 601 patient’s orthopantomography (OPG) and cephalometric radiography records were evaluated. Gonial angle was measured on cephaloametric radiography and ramus height was measured on OPG. Impacted third molars were classified according to Pell & Gregory Vertical/Winter classification on OPG. The relationship between the impaction classifications and ramus height/gonial angle was evaluated. Statistically significant difference was found in Pell & Gregory Classification types in terms of ramus height/gonial angle (p
