180x180px There is no standard to screen for<unk><unk> . It has been suggested, absent evidence to support routinely retaining or removing<unk><unk> , that evaluation with panoramic radiograph, starting between the ages of 16 and 25 be completed every 3 years. Once there is the possibility of the<unk>  developing disease, then a discussion about the operative risks versus long-term risk of retention with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or other clinician trained to evaluate<unk><unk>  is recommended. These recommendations are based on expert opinion level evidence. Screening at a younger age may be required if the second molars (the "12-year molars") fail to erupt as ectopic positioning of the<unk><unk>  can prevent their eruption. Radiographs can be avoided if the majority of the tooth is visible in the mouth.
