[Historical development of surgical wisdom tooth extraction].

Surgical removal of the wisdom teeth is a routine procedure nowadays. Only at the end of the nineteenth century the use of local anesthesia together with the development of radiology led to the establishment of surgical dentistry. Especially the technique of removal of the lower third molar was totally changed and modified many times, depending on the position of the wisdom teeth. First hand instruments were used; later, mechanical devices for bone resection and tooth splitting were employed. Since the 1950s, highly dangerous infections have become rare, thanks to the use of antibiotics. Many publications concerning incision procedure, bone resection and tooth splitting marked the following years.

[Role of tooth extractions in orthodontics].

Extraction therapy can be applied only under strict observation of indications. It requires thorough knowledge of the laws governing the migration of teeth after extraction, the normal development of the orofacial system and normal eruption of teeth. Careless extractions performed without thorough prior analysis cause irreparable harm instead of improving the situation. In the majority of cases extraction must be followed by appliance therapy to achieve controlled closure of the spaces, align the teeth in the dental arch and restore proper occlusion. The mode and extent of this treatment must be planned at the outset.
