Extraction of impacted third molar with preventive installation of titanium miniplate: Case report

Abstract: IntroductionEven though is rarely, mandibular fracture after the extraction of third molars can occur in almost 1% of the procedures. Gender, age, position of third molar, tooth volume, bone fragility, systemic disorders, associated lesions, and degree of mandibular atrophy are factors that contribute to increase the incidence of fracture. The installation of the titanium miniplate during exodontia is an important tool to prevent the fracture.Presentation of caseThe objective of this study is to present a clin… Show more

“…Patients should be advised to consume soft foods within 4 weeks after the operation. Furthermore, the application of a mini titanium plate can effectively prevent the occurrence of mandibular fracture ( 23 ) and avoid serious complications (fractures) in patients with high fracture risk.…”

“…Most late lower jaw fractures occur while chewing more consistent foods, such as bread, nuts and meats, when the masticatory forces required to grind food can cause severe trauma to the already weakened bone by surgery. Most cases report that at the moment of late mandible fracture, the patient hears a "crack" on the affected side during chewing, accompanied by pain, a rapid evolution to edema and trismus, with or without malocclusion and paresthesia (3) (1) (12).…”

“…Several clinical methods have been proposed to upright tilted second or third molars; these can be divided into two categories: (1) pushing the tilted molars backwards by a spring soldered to bands on the first or second molars [6] or a tipback cantilever [7] and (2) pulling the tilted molars backwards from the distal side by TADs (Temporary anchorage devices) inserted into the retromolar region [8].…”
