Treatment of un-erupted, partially erupted and ectopic molars course
This session will address the treatment of ectopic mandibular 3rd molars (M3Ms).
Learning objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- list the indications for the removal of M3Ms
- describe how to assess a patient presenting with ectopic teeth
- describe how to carry out the dental assessment of ectopic teeth excluding molars and the use of specific indications for tests
The procedure for extraction of M3M is variable and is influenced by the type of impaction and surrounding structures, for example, proximity of the inferior alveolar and lingual nerves. Generally, surgery involves the raising and protection of soft tissue flaps and bone removal, with either a chisel or bur with water cooling irrigation.
Before commencing this session you should have knowledge of:
- normal eruption dates of primary and secondary dentition
- radiographic assessment of dental patients
- preoperative assessment for sedation and general anaesthesia
- consent regulations and application
