Third Molar Impaction Surgery
The removal of third molars is the most common surgical procedure practiced in oral & maxillofacial surgery (OMFS). The procedure can be implemented under anesthesia (either local or general) or intravenous sedation.
Benefits of Third Molar Impaction Surgery
If the third molar is asymptomatic the relation cost/benefit must be evaluated, i.e. all complications which the patient will be subjected to. As a benefit the surgical extraction can remove the development of inflammation, pathological injuries such as cyst, root resorption, tumors, decays, and periodontitis.
