Extraction of impacted third molar with preventive installation of titanium miniplate: Case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Even though is rarely, mandibular fracture after the extraction of third molars can occur in almost 1% of the procedures. Gender, age, position of third molar, tooth volume, bone fragility, systemic disorders, associated lesions, and degree of mandibular atrophy are factors that contribute to increase the incidence of fracture. The installation of the titanium miniplate during exodontia is an important tool to prevent the fracture.

Presentation of case

The objective of this study is to present a clinical case of extraction of inferior impacted third molar, in atrophic mandible, with posterior installation of titanium miniplate, to prevent mandibular fracture.

Discussion and conclusion

preventive installation of titanium miniplate was effective and indeed prevented the mandibular fracture. No trans-operative or immediate post-operative complications were observed. Post-operative follow-up was of three years, with no complications, showing the success of the procedure.

Project description:BackgroundVarious injection methods have been used to improve the success rate of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) block and reduce the pain and complications. But these methods also have their advantages and disadvantages. A modified 3-distal site anesthesia injection method proposed in 2015 was used clinically with satisfactory results at some dental clinics in China. This study aimed to determine the feasibility of this modified 3-distal site anesthesia injection method for extraction of an impacted mandibular third molar from an anatomical point of view.MethodsThree-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and analysis of the mandibles was performed using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning to measure the simulated needle insertion depth, infiltration distance, and other important parameters. These parameters were compared with an actual depth of 20 mm and a theoretic infiltration distance of 10 mm. The main parameters were compared between males and females.ResultsSixty-three CBCT datasets were imported into Simplant OMS software for 3D reconstruction. The left simulated insertion depth did not differ from 20 mm, while right insertion depth was >20 mm (P<0.05). The bilateral infiltration distances were <10 mm (P<0.05) and articaine blocked the IAN. The widths of the mandibular rami were greater than the syringe length (21 mm), thus it was not possible for the syringe to reach the distal edge of the mandible. There was no difference in the simulated needle insertion depth and infiltration distance between the left and right (P>0.05). The bilateral simulated insertion depths, infiltration distances, widths of the mandibular rami, and height of the left mandibular foramen in females were less than in males (P<0.05), while there was no difference in the height of the right mandibular foramen and bilateral insertion angles (P>0.05).ConclusionsThe modified 3-distal site anesthesia injection method was shown to block the IAN based on anatomic evidence derived from 3D analysis on the measurements by CBCT.
