Removing high-risk impacted mandibular third molars: a surgical-orthodontic approach.
The authors present a surgical-orthodontic approach to the extraction of impacted mandibular third molars that have a close anatomical relationship between the root and the mandibular canal. They explain that this procedure, in selected cases, decreases the risk of neurological complications and facilitates extraction.
