Coronectomy practice. Paper 2: complications and long term management.
Coronectomy was developed to reduce the incidence of iatrogenic injury to the inferior dental nerve, which can be a result of routine mandibular third molar surgery, but it is not widely accepted despite early studies that all showed positive results. This two-part paper looks at the technique in more detail to help clinicians gain a better understanding of the procedure. The first part dealt in detail with technical aspects. This one will consider the management of common complications.
