    “What Are Your Favorite Techniques To Extract Mesioangular Impacted Wisdom Teeth?”

    Quick Review #286 - #dental #dentist #dentistry #dentalstudent #dentalschool #teeth #cavity #wisdomteeth #extraction #oralsurgery #oralsurgeon #implant #implants #dentalimplant #dentalimplants As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, I’ve found that mastering tooth sectioning techniques is crucial, especially in complex cases like horizontally or mesioangular impacted wisdom teeth. Two techniques I rely on are hemisectioning and coronectomy sectioning, each with its own strategic advantage. When I perform a hemisection (as described in Peterson’s Principles of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery), I use a surgical handpiece to section the tooth through the crown and into the interradicular space—between the roots. By dividing the tooth into distinct crown-root components, I can elevate each piece more conservatively. This reduces the stress on surrounding bone structures. Elevators are used to carefully deliver each segment, minimizing trauma—something Peterson’s emphasizes as essential to post-op healing. Alternatively, in select cases, coronectomy (also covered in Peterson’s) is my go-to. Here, I carefully remove the crown first, leaving the root fragments behind initially. This can be advantageous when removing the roots poses a risk to the inferior alveolar nerve. After the crown is extracted, I address the roots separately or allow them to remain if conditions are right—a nerve-sparing approach that Peterson’s outlines for high-risk cases. These techniques highlight that every extraction must be tailored. Whether we’re splitting crowns or strategically leaving roots, patient safety and long-term outcomes guide every decision.
