    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Dental Implantology

    Background:

    • Traditional chisel and bur techniques for impacted mandibular third molar removal often lead to complications.
    • These methods necessitate creating a buccal defect, potentially causing postoperative pocketing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a minimally invasive surgical technique for impacted mandibular third molar extraction.
    • To reduce periosteal reflection, bone loss, and reliance on rotary instrumentation.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel surgical approach focusing on precise soft tissue flap design and bony cuts.
    • Minimizing periosteal reflection and the use of rotary instruments during extraction.

    Main Results:

    • The described technique significantly minimizes periosteal reflection and bone loss.
    • Reduced use of rotary instrumentation compared to conventional methods.
    • Facilitates primary wound closure and dead space obliteration.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented technique offers a conservative approach to impacted mandibular third molar removal.
    • This method effectively reduces postoperative morbidity and potential complications like pocketing.
