Summary

The aim of this study is to compare multi-detector CT and CBCT as pre-surgical diagnostic imaging before surgical retrieval of iatrogenic displaced mandibular third molar teeth/roots.

Conditions

  • Tooth Displacement

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

CT, CBCT

Under general anesthesia, a lingual envelope incision is performed to access and remove the displaced third molar tooth or root, and a mucoperiosteal flap is released from the retromolar trigone to the medial surface of the mandibular first premolar. By carefully retracting the lingual soft tissue, an envelope flap is raised on the lingual side from the second premolar to the anterior boundary of the ramus. This protected the lingual nerve from injury. With great caution, the lingual flap is reflected up to the submandibular area so that the tooth or root fragment will be identified. An extra-oral finger is used as support.Through blunt dissection, the loose tooth or root is located, grabbed using a pair of artery forceps, and extracted. The flaps are sutured using 3-0 Vicryl sutures after the wound is irrigated with normal saline.
