Root dislocation into soft tissues during lower jaw third molar extraction belongs to clinically rare complications. The thickness of the cortical plate on the third molar lingual side does not exceed 1.5 mm. Working with an elevator, or headpiece, it is possible to push the roots into the adjacent soft tissue. It is not possible to remove displaced tooth fragment through the socket, it requires additional surgical access from the lingual side. The authors described three clinical cases of root dislocation during third molar removing. Successful surgical treatment was done.

Validity and Utility of a Risk Prediction Model for Wound Infection After Lower Third Molar Surgery.

Oral Dis

January 2025

Laboratory of Clinical Pharmaceutics & Therapeutics, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan.

Objectives: To externally validate a clinical prediction model for surgical site infection (SSI) after lower third molar (L3M) surgery and evaluate its clinical usefulness.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent L3M surgery at Hokkaido University Hospital. The study was designed to evaluate the historical and methodological transportability.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the impact of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on pain, swelling, trismus, soft tissue healing and bone regeneration following mandibular third molar extraction.

Material And Methods: A systematic review was conducted from a period of January 2014 to June 2024 using PRISMA guidelines. The search strategy included databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, using key terms related to "PRF", "PRP", oral surgery, and third molars.

Background: It has been outlined that LTM (Lower third molar) extracted from patients in which grinding, cleaning, sterilization & demineralization prove to be highly effective as graft material for filling the alveolar socket of the very same patient. These investigations aim to assess the efficiency of ADDM (Autogenous Demineralized Dentin Matrix) graft in third molar extraction sockets.

Purpose: To check the effectiveness of ADDM as graft material in extraction socket by evaluating pain, swelling, trismus, PD (Probing Depth) and bone density.

The present case report describes the endodontic treatment of a type III B dens invaginatus (DI) in a three-rooted mandibular second molar since the invagination invades the root and extends apically. Clinical and cone-beam computed tomography examination of the mandibular second molar showed a broadened coronal morphology, DI, a third root, periapical radiolucency, and compression of a distal root canal by the invagination, which developed an atypical semilunar shape. The tooth was diagnosed with pulpal necrosis, symptomatic apical, and peri-invagination periodontitis.
