summary In this conversation, Dr. Serv Wahan and Dr. Jaclyn Tomsic discuss the intricacies of coronectomies, a surgical procedure primarily performed on mandibular third molars. They delve into the definition, indications, risks, and post-operative outcomes associated with coronectomies. The discussion highlights the importance of patient communication, surgical techniques, and the evolving understanding of this procedure within the dental community. Through various studies and personal experiences, they emphasize the need for careful decision-making to minimize complications and enhance patient care.
takeaways Coronectomies involve the intentional retention of tooth roots. The procedure is primarily indicated for patients over 25 years old. Post-operative pain can vary between coronectomies and extractions. Efficiency in surgery can reduce recovery time and pain. Patient education is essential to avoid misunderstandings about risks. The risk of nerve injury increases with age and complexity of the case. Studies show that root migration can occur but is often manageable. Using PRF can aid in healing, though its necessity is debated. Communication with patients about potential outcomes is crucial. Coronectomies are becoming more accepted in dental practice.
