Mesioangular Impaction – Surgical Disimpaction with Tooth Sectioning
🔹 Case Description:
Mesioangular impacted mandibular third molar causing recurrent pain and food lodgement.
🔹 Surgical Approach:
- Local anesthesia under aseptic conditions
- Mucoperiosteal flap reflection
- Minimal and controlled bone removal
- Tooth sectioning performed to reduce resistance and prevent damage to adjacent 2nd molar
- Atraumatic removal of sections
- Thorough irrigation and suturing
🔹 Why Tooth Sectioning?
✔ Less bone removal
✔ Protects distal surface of 2nd molar
✔ Reduced trauma
✔ Faster healing & better post-op comfort
✨ Outcome:
Successful disimpaction with smooth postoperative healing and patient comfort.
