| Abstract | ||
| Impacted tooth is a tooth which is completely or partially unerupted and is positioned against another tooth, bone or soft tissue so that its further eruption is unlikely, described according to it’s a natomic position. The third molars are often found in various anatomical positions and angles, leading to frequent dental impaction. The extraction of these teeth is one of the most common dentoalveolar procedures in oral and maxillofacial surgery, whether it is for preventive, orthodontic, or prosthetic purposes, or for diagnosing associated pathologies. The mandibular third molar is frequently found to be impacted, with the prevalence ranging from 9.5% to 68% in different populations. Osteotomy is important for the extraction of the third molars that are partially erupted and/or impacted in bone. A variety of instruments are used in the surgical removal . Therefore, it is urgent to choose a surgical method or instruments that conform to anatomic landmarks and are based on physiological principles. | ||
