    Background and purpose: The frequency of third molar agenesis is an indicator of the magnitude of clinical problems caused by this tooth. We have studied the frequency of third molar agenesis in the ... contemporary population of Slovenia and evaluated the procedure for radiographic detection of this tooth,which forms the basis for prophylactic destruction or removal of its germ. Material and methods: Panoramic radiographs from 320 dental patients aged 12-21 years were evaluated for the presence of third molars. Panoramic radiographs from 30 patients taken between ages 5 and 21 years were used to assess the developmental timing of this tooth. Results: Agenesis of one or more third molar teeth was present in 26.6% of patients. Absence of two third molars was the most frequent, followed in decreasing order of frequency by absence of one, three and all four third molars. No statistically significant diffrences were found between men and women, between upper and lower jaws, or between left and right sides. The earliest appearance of the third molar was found in the 6th year, the latest in the 13th year. Conclusions: The frequencyof third molar agenesis in the contemporary population of Slovenia iscomparable to the levels reported by most foreign authors. Intentional therapeutic agenesis of third molars seems questionable from the point of viewof radiographic diagnosis: radiographic assessments should begin at the latest in the 6th year and continue until the 15th or 16th year of age; moreover, radiographs should be obtained at intervals of 6 months.
