A total of 160 medical students were participated in which 80 males and 80 females were participated in the study. Each individual was examined for physical dental examination in each quadrant of the jaw, mere appearance of crown of the third molar tooth was considered as erupted. A space between the second molar tooth and the ramus of the mandible without any evidence of the crown of the 3rd molar tooth was considered as not erupted.
