Surgical extraction of mandibular third molar in pterygomandibular space: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Impacted mandibular third molars are located between the second mandibular molar and mandibular ramus. However, ectopic mandibular third molars with heterotopic positions are reported in the subcondylar or pterygomandibular space. The usual cause of malposition is a cyst or tumor, and malposition without a pathology is rare. This case report described an impacted mandibular third molar in the pterygomandibular space without any associated pathology.

متن کاملAutotransplantation of a mandibular third molar: A case report
Tooth autotransplantation defines as transition of one tooth from one position to another, in same individual. It is a biological procedure in which teeth have the potential to induce alveolar bone growth. It can be applied in patients before adolescence growth is finished. It significantly reduces time and cost compared to implants. Healing rapidly occurs and function is regained almost immedi...
متن کاملMandibular Second Molar Periodontal Parameters after Surgical Extraction of Adjacent Impacted Third Molar
Introdouction: Impacted mandibular third molar surgery may affect periodontal status of the adjacent second molar. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in periodontal health parameters distal to the adjacent second molar following surgical extraction of an impacted mandibular third molar. Materials and methods: We selected 50 subjects with a mean age of 22.8 (ranging from 18...
متن کاملDisplacement of a mandibular third molar root fragment into the pterygomandibular space.
Displacement of root fragments into adjacent anatomical areas is an uncommon complication of the removal of teeth. This paper describes the management of a mandibular third molar root fragment that was forced into the antero-inferior aspect of the pterygomandibular space. The importance of tomographical radiographs in the visualization of the displaced root is also discussed.
