Wisdom tooth coronectomy and its complications

Esetismertetés

Abstract

The surgical care of the lower impacted wisdom teeth is often a great challenge for oral surgeons and dentists, that may
go with a lot of pitfalls and risks as well as complications during surgery. In order to avoid this, careful diagnostic, therapeutic
and complication management skills are required. One of the most undesirable complication is the injury of the
inferior alveolar nerve. In order to avoid this, we can use coronectomy as an alternative to surgery, instead of completely
removing the tooth. This publication describes coronectomy and its complications through case reports.
