Abstract:
Most of the maxillary impacted third molars are located in the maxillary tuberosity, where the vision and operation space are limited. This paper reports a case of surgical extraction of the left maxillary horizontal superhigh impacted third molar, which is located between the roots of the adjacent teeth and is closely related to the maxillary sinus. The digital simulation technology was used to reconstruct a three-dimensional visual image of the patient's maxilla, related teeth, and other adjacent anatomical structures to assist in finding the optimal surgical method accurately. Root dislocation before the crown not only protects the roots of the adjacent tooth, but also reduces the risk of maxillary sinus lining damage or perforation during operative procedures, improves the efficiency of the operation, and reduces surgical trauma, which conforms to the concept of minimally invasive surgery and provides a new idea and experience for the clinical extraction of such maxillary impacted third molars.
