surgical removal on lower third molar impaction: a case report and literature review
Keywords:
Surgical removal, Lower third molar, Partial bony impactionAbstract
Third molar impaction is a common dental problem leading to surgical removal. The patients frequently showed up with the chief complaint related to the impacted teeth, such as pericoronitis, severe dental caries, and painful swelling. The proper preoperative evaluation, including patient history, patient evaluation, extraoral and intraoral examination, and radiographic investigation, should be achieved for good treatment planning and postoperative care to decrease the chance of serious postoperative complications.
This article reported the case of a 35-year-old female patient who presented with left lower third molar partial bony impaction and tooth decay of the left lower second molar. There was no swelling of the peri-coronal gingiva, and the peri-apical film showed 38 horizontal impactions. The wound healed uneventfully after the impaction was surgically removed.
