surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar is a common procedure among oral surgeries. While there is no agreement on the management of asymptomatic impacted third molars, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the rate of cystic changes in the follicle of impacted teeth with radiographically normal feature. 109 patients underwent surgical removal of impacted mandibular third mol...

Reviewing the literatures, the most frequently impacted tooth was mandibular third molar, followed by the maxillary third molars, the maxillary canines and the mandibular premolars. The current case report aimed to present a rare inverted and impacted maxillary third molar incidentally detected in a patient of mandibular unicystic ameloblastoma on panoramic radiography, highlighting the importa...

BACKGROUND Alveolar osteitis (AO) is a commonly seen post-operative complication during the wound-healing period after permanent tooth extraction or surgical removal of impacted third molar teeth. OBJECTIVES The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the effects of administration of the topical hemostatic agent Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) into the socket on AO formation after impacted ma...

Removal of third molars is a common procedure performed in oral surgery. Although there are well-defined indications for removal of impacted third molars, removal of asymptomatic third molars is still universally practiced. This article reviews the body of knowledge regarding for and against the prophylactic surgical extraction of impacted third molars in contemporary oral surgical practice, an...

The purpose of this study was to compare findings on the relationship between impacted molar roots and the mandibular canal in panoramic and three-dimensional cone-beam CT (CBCT) images to identify those that indicated risk of postoperative paresthesia. The relationship between impacted molars and the mandibular canal was first classified using panoramic images. Only patients in whom the molar ...
