Concomitant Removal of Mandibular Third Molars During Sagittal Split Osteotomy Minimizes Neurosensory Dysfunction

Surgical Site Infections Following Bimaxillary Orthognathic, Osseous Genioplasty, and Intranasal Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study

“…Explanations for the higher occurrence of infection in this subgroup could include altered local flora in the gingival sulcus (pocket or inflamed mucosal wound edges) or a more porous wound closure. 18,[31][32][33]36,38,[48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59] In contrast, only 1 of the 456 SROs (0.4%) in the present study that were completed with simultaneous removal of a fully impacted third molar (no exposure of the crown through the mucosa) or in the absence of a third molar developed a wound infection.…”

The Effect of Hemostatic Agents and Tissue Adhesive on Injured Peripheral Nerve Healing in Rats – Part I. Electrophysiological Study

“…In the practice of maxillofacial surgery, many procedures, such as cyst or tumor excision, orthognathic surgery, implantology and impacted tooth removal can lead to injury of the peripheral nerve tissues [1][2][3]. Incidences of nerve damage after the removal of mandibular third molar teeth ranged from 0.4% to 8.4% [2].…”

Preoperative removal of lower third molars and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy in the UK

“…Doucet et al found concomitant removal of third molars reduced sensory disturbance at 3 and 6 months post-operatively, in their series of 120 cases. 17 This is attributed to the presence of lower third molars decreasing the rate and severity of neurovascular bundle entrapment, thus reducing the requirement for manipulation of the inferior alveolar nerve.…”
