    Dr. William Behrbom on Sectioning Techniques for Extracting Impacted Teeth

    *PODCAST EXCLUSIVE* - An audio elaboration of this LinkedIn comment from Dr. William Behrbom, referencing the “hemisection” and “coronectomy” sectioning techniques for extraction impacted teeth: “I use both techniques routinely depending on the angle of the tooth. The key in either technique is to get some movement, no matter how little, before sectioning. This will make removing the pieces much easier” #podcast #dentalpodcast #doctor #dentist #dentistry #oralsurgery #dental #dentalschool #dentalstudent #oralsurgeon #doctorgallagher #doctorgallagherspodcast

    “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. References: 1. “Peterson’s Principles of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery” – A foundational text detailing surgical techniques, including hemisection and coronectomy. 2. “Contemporary Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery” by Hupp, Ellis, and Tucker – Widely respected, it thoroughly covers dentoalveolar procedures and surgical sectioning approaches. 3. “Atlas of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery” by Fonseca – Known for its detailed visual aids and step-by-step guidance on extraction techniques. 4.
