Abstract
An aerosolizing reducing technique for the extraction of impacted mandibular third molars with the use of a bibevel chisel and mallet will be presented. Every oral and maxillofacial surgeon should have this technique in their armamentarium, especially with the current global pandemic with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, the cause of coronavirus disease 2019. In this era, we must all consider ways to reduce the number of aerosols produced during the extraction of third molars. Prioritizing hand instrumentation with the use of chisels and mallets will reduce aerosolization as compared with the more traditional technique of using a surgical handpiece.
