Removal of Third Molars

چکیده
During the second half of the twentieth century, a revolution began to develop as a result of the improved technology for the removal of impacted third molars. In particular, the development of high-speed rotary cutting instruments, improved surgical techniques, panoramic radiography, and improved local anesthesia, outpatient general anesthesia, and intravenous sedation combined to significantly improve and simplify the removal of impacted third molars. What had previously been a dreaded surgical procedure, sometimes requiring hospitalization, became a routine, safe office procedure with generally predictable outcomes and a relatively low cost.
