Germectomy or delayed removal of mandibular impacted third molars

Indications and risk factors for complications of lower third molar surgery in a Nigerian Teaching Hospital

“…The overall rate of dry socket has been reported to vary from 0% to 35% among studies. [ 1 11 26 ] Thus, the prevalence of 2.7% obtained in the present study is in line with earlier reports on the frequency of dry socket. The development of alveolar osteitis was found to be significantly associated with the use of oral contraceptives, cigarette smoking, patient's age and level of experience of the operating surgeon.…”

The most common complications after wisdom-tooth removal: part 1: a retrospective study of 1,199 cases in the mandible

“…In this study, the overall complication rate after the removal of mandibular wisdom teeth was 8.4%, which agrees with the frequencies of 4.3% to 9.1% mentioned in the literature ( Chiapasco et al 1995, Lopes et al 1995, Bui et al 2003, Blondeau & Daniel 2007.…”

Lower Third Molar Germectomy: Timings, Indications, and Clinical and Patient-Reported Outcomes—A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…The pooled estimate strongly favored early removal, and both studies were directionally consistent with a maturity-dependent risk gradient: Chiapasco et al [ 16 ] observed that complication rates increased in progressively more advanced groups, including a prolonged paresthesia in the most advanced group; similarly, Zhang et al [ 10 ] reported no nerve injury in the immature group and higher complication rates, including nerve lesions, in the mature/delayed group. This finding is consistent with, and further supports, conclusions previously reported in the literature [ 9 , 22 , 23 ].…”
