The risk of altered sensation is significantly lower than convention surgical removal of mandibular third molars. Approximately 0.65% of individuals encounter postoperative deficits in the Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) following coronectomy, a significantly lower occurrence compared to the 5.10% observed after conventional extraction procedures.
Dry-socket typically causes a sharp and sudden increase in pain commencing 2–5 days following the extraction of a mandibular molar, most commonly the third molar. [51] This is often extremely unpleasant for the patient; the only symptom of dry-socket is pain, which often radiates up and down the head and neck.

The lack of up to five teeth (excluding third molars, i.e. wisdom teeth) is termed hypodontia. Missing third molars occur in 9-30% of studied populations. One large scale study on a group of young adults in New Zealand showed 95.6% had at least 1 wisdom tooth with an eruption rate of 15% in the maxilla and 20% in the mandible. [33]
The procedure of tooth transplant is technique sensitive and it requires a team approach involving orthodontist, oral surgeon, paediatric dentist, dental radiologist and technical support. [10] Imaging is needed for radiographic planning of tooth transplant.
ICD-9-CM Volume 3 is a system of procedural codes used by health insurers to classify medical procedures for billing purposes. It is a subset of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) 9-CM.
Mandibular fracture is a rare complication of third molar removal, and may occur during the procedure or afterwards. [40] With respect to trauma patients, roughly 10% have some sort of facial fracture, the majority of which come from motor vehicle collisions.
A root end surgery, also known as apicoectomy (apico-+ -ectomy), apicectomy (apic-+ -ectomy), retrograde root canal treatment (c.f. orthograde root canal treatment) or root-end filling, is an endodontic surgical procedure whereby a tooth's root tip is removed and a root end cavity is prepared and filled with a biocompatible material.
