Background: Third molar surgery is considered the most frequently performed procedure in oral surgery. Although there are some indications for the removal of this tooth, such as the possibility of cystic degeneration or a tumor of the adjacent pericoronal follicle, there is no consensus in the literature about their prophylactic removal.
Objectives: The aims of this study were to investigate the pathological alterations related to mandibular third molar dental follicles and to perform a narrative literature review.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a model of traumatic ulcers in the rat cheek mucosa to aid future research on alternative therapies.
- A total of 60 male rats had their cheek mucosa ulcerated through abrasion and were monitored for 10 days, with significant weight loss initially and gradual healing of the ulcers.
- The results indicate that this model is a practical and effective method for studying ulcer healing and potential treatments.
