Displacement Of Impacted Third Molar Research Articles

Displacement of impacted third molar

The displacement of the tooth into the fascial spaces is an unusual complication in the procedure of third molar extraction surgery. The present article reported three cases regarding the displaced teeth in the third molar extraction, including two mandible cases and one maxillary case. The reason and treatment of the displaced tooth were reviewed.

Accidental displacement of a high-speed handpiece bur during mandibular third molar surgery: a case report

Removal of third molars is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in oral and maxillofacial surgery. This procedure may result in a number of major and minor complications. Accidental displacement of impacted third molars is a complication that occasionally occurs during these operations, but accidental displacement of a high-speed handpiece bur has never been reported in literature before. The aim of this article is to present a rare and previously unreported case of a foreign body in the submandibular space and to review the possible complications seen after third molar surgery.

A simple retrieval technique for accidentally displaced mandibular third molars

The retrieval of an accidentally displaced mandibular third molar with conventional techniques has always been complicated. This report describes a simple technique to retrieve a displaced impacted mandibular third molar. Accidental displacement of impacted third molars, either a root fragment, the crown, or the entire tooth, is a complication that occasionally occurs during exodontia but is rarely discussed.1-5 The most common sites of dislodgment of an impacted mandibular third molar are the submandibular and pterygomandibular spaces. Retrieval of such a displaced tooth is typically approached transorally.4,5 The surgical procedure may be complex due to poor visualization and limited space, and it is usually performed under general anesthesia. We describe an easy technique to remove an accidentally displaced mandibular third molar using a combined transoral and extraoral approach.
