A tricky Third molar surgery can humble even the most experienced of Oral Surgeons. Surgical removal of Wisdom teeth has become somewhat of a post-graduate discipline, with many Dentists lacking the confidence or even the appetite for their removal. We have today the very enthusiastic Dr Nekky Jamal who is a GDP that lives and breathes third molar surgery. He shares with us his top tips for the planning and execution of M3Ms surgery!
Protrusive Dental Pearl: When you are sectioning a mesio-angular impacted tooth, start your section 1-2 millimeters more mesial to where you think the furcation is – you will have a tendency to drift distally and therefore more likely to HIT that furcation which is when the magic begins.
(Regarding disto-angular third molars) “If you lose your crown, you almost lose your ability and your orientation of where that tooth is.” Dr Nekky Jamal
