A panoramic radiograph was the initial imaging used to determine the risk associated with the extraction of tooth #17 and tooth #32. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was also utilized and interpreted before the extraction surgery. During the removal of #32, there was a fracture of the thin lingual plate and a portion of the #32 root was displaced lingually out of the alveolus. This case presentation illustrates the use of a piezoelectric device (Mectron S·P.A., Carasco, Genoa, Italy) (PD) to create osteotomies of the lingual socket's cortical plate and allow for the retrieval of the root through the lingual plate perforation, avoiding further displacement into the sublingual space. This is a unique modification to a procedure published by Huang et al., in 2007 [1].

All cases showed stable mandibular immobilization during the MMF period. MMF-miniplates were removed after six weeks under local anesthesia. Satisfactory mouth opening was observed after MMF-miniplate removal. No cases of MMF-miniplate failure, significant postoperative complications, and emergency MMF-miniplate release were observed. Only one case showed local soft tissue inflammation at the MMF-miniplate entry site, which resolved after removal. In conclusion, MMF-miniplate is a feasible, effective, and reliable technique with satisfactory clinical outcomes.
