Abstract :
Extraction of mandibular third molars is one of the most common oral surgeries. The location of the mandibular third molar is the back of the mouth, which was surrounded by bone and soft tissue with nerves, vessels and spaces in them. Insufficiently prepared operation will cause severe complications. So, it is important to understand the relevant anatomical structures. The use of turbines or other power systems and other tools for surgery can be minimally invasive extraction of mandibular third molars, shorten the operation time and reduce complications. Lower lip numbness related to inferior alveolar nerve injury is one of the serious complications of mandibular third molar extraction. New techniques, such as endoscope assisted surgery, can be used to extract complicated mandibular third molar teeth to reduce the risk of lower alveolar nerve injury.
Learning objectives :
- Clinical anatomy related to the extraction of impacted mandibular third molars
- the surgical experience of minimally invasive extraction
- new progress of the extraction of complicated mandibular third molars
