Al-Said Haffor

Background: Coronectomy is a technique wherein the root(s) of the impacted third molar is retained in order to avoid inferior alveolar injury. However, the potential pre, intra-operation risks, and post-operation complications have not been reviewed in one single paper previously. Purpose: The purpose of this review was to conduct a systemic review regarding preoperational precautions, possible interoperation risks, and post-operation complications. Methods: Previous studies were gathered, reviewed and classified under three main categories namely; pre-operations indications, intra-operation possible risks, and post-operation complications. Results: there have been some substantial publications that investigated the effectiveness of coronectomy as a treatment modality for impacted third molars given accurate preoperational indications. Conclusions: Coronectomy should become commonly practiced worldwide, with respect to the proper techniques of sectioning the crown, treatment outcomes, given patient awareness of post coronectomy complications and the availability of skillful oral surgeon who had mastered the technique of coronectomy
