Impacted molars removal

Impacted molars, particularly third molars (wisdom teeth), are teeth that fail to erupt properly due to lack of space, improper angulation, or obstruction by adjacent teeth. Surgical removal of impacted molars is a common oral surgical procedure aimed at preventing or managing complications.

Potential Complications :

• Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) due to premature clot loss.
• Infection leading to swelling and pus discharge.
• Nerve damage causing temporary or permanent numbness.
• Fracture of the mandible in complex cases.
• Sinus perforation in maxillary molar extractions.

Impacted molar removal is a routine procedure that can prevent serious dental complications. Proper assessment, surgical technique, and postoperative care are essential for successful healing and recovery.
