[edit] Wisdom teeth?

So the maxillary and mandibular third molars are the wisdom teeth, right, or am I missing something? If not, should this be mentioned on this page? Rojomoke 14:13, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it should be mentioned somewhere. I thought it was, but I will check again. - Dozenist talk 18:54, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article rating

I am rating this article as a stub. Though there is some content about nomenclature, there is a lot of information absent, such as all the characteristics of the tooth. I think the importance of the topic is high, considering it is an article specifically about teeth. - Dozenist talk 18:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wisdom teeth

this article should be merged with Wisdom teeth, they should cover the same things. Gdbanks 03:36, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

If you notice the links in the article, there are articles for all the other teeth, and the naming system of the article follows the proper terminology for the tooth. If anything, I would say Wisdom teeth should be merged into one or both of the third molar articles. Certainly, this article and the maxillary third molar article should not be merged in an article named Wisdom teeth or Wisdom tooth, as that is not the proper term. This would be consistent with WP:MEDMOS. - Dozenist talk 10:42, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
