aP < 0.05 significant differences between subgroups according to One-Way ANOVA tests.
A = the occlusal plane of the impacted tooth is at the same level as the occlusal plane of the second molar.
B = the occlusal plane of the impacted tooth is between the occlusal plane and the cervical margin of the second molar.
C = the impacted tooth is below the cervical margin of the second molar.
CBCT = cone-beam computed tomography; HU = Hounsfield units.
