Abstract

Third molars are often removed in order to prevent complications and various other problems associated with impacted teeth. A healthy 17-year-old girl with no history was referred to the Department of Oral Surgery by her orthodontist to remove mandibular third-molar germs. Panoramic radiography showed the presence of impacted mandibular third-molar germs, vertically positioned, with incomplete root formation. The tooth germs (48, 38) were extracted under local-regional anesthesia. The postoperative period was uneventful. Germectomy is still relevant in the management of mandibular third molars (MTM). It is a surgical removal of the dental germ at a particularly specific developmental period. However, the need to extract the MTM germs is still controversial. Germectomy is well justified in light of clinical symptomatology and/or a suspicious radiographic image. Nonetheless, in asymptomatic MTM, it is important to assess the procedure’s cost-benefit ratio.
下颌第三磨牙切除术:病例报告
拔除第三磨牙通常是为了预防并发症和与阻生牙相关的其他各种问题。 一名无任何病史的 17 岁健康女孩被正畸医生转介到口腔外科,要求拔除下颌第三磨牙。全景 X 光片显示,下颌第三磨牙牙菌斑垂直排列,牙根未完全形成。在局部区域麻醉下拔除了牙胚(48,38)。术后情况良好。 牙菌斑切除术在下颌第三磨牙(MTM)的治疗中仍具有重要意义。这是在一个特别的发育时期通过手术切除牙胚。然而,是否需要拔除下颌第三磨牙的牙菌仍存在争议。 根据临床症状和/或可疑的放射影像,牙菌斑切除术是非常合理的。然而,对于无症状的 MTM,评估手术的成本效益比非常重要。
