Abstract
This article describes the value of coronectomy as an alternative to the removal of teeth in the management of younger patients when intervention is required but extraction is associated with a heightened risk of post-operative neuropathy. Three cases are presented of children who underwent a coronectomy procedure which was planned within a multidisciplinary Orthodontic, Oral Surgery and Paediatric Dentistry team at King's College Hospital. None of the children experienced post-operative neuropathy. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This article describes the value of coronectomy (partial odontectomy) as an alternative to the removal of teeth in the management of younger patients when intervention is required but extraction is associated with a heightened risk of post-operative neuropathy.
