Abstract:
Displacement of a mandibular third molar into a fascial space is a relatively rare event with potentially serious complications. The surgical procedure to remove a displaced tooth, or part thereof from these spaces may be difficult due to poor access and an abundance of vital structures within these spaces. Here, we present two cases of submandibular displacement, suggest an intra-oral approach and algorithm to help guide practitioners with management of displaced third molars in the submandibular space.
