Outcomes of Coronectomy and Total Odontectomy of Impacted Mandibular Third Molars.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this research was to evaluate the surgical complications and neurosensory deficits after coronectomy and the complete removal of mandibular third molars.

Methods

The study sample included patients requiring surgical removal of mandibular third molars. A coronectomy was conducted on 220 teeth showing signs of close proximity to the inferior alveolar canal. A complete extraction was performed on 218 teeth with no risk signs. The patients were evaluated at 1 week and 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery for pain, swelling, neurologic deficit, dry socket, postoperative bleeding, infection, root migration, and eruption.

Results

No significant difference was noted in pain and swelling; however, bleeding and dry socket were significantly higher in th
