Use of orthodontic treatment as an aid to third molar extraction: a method for prevention of mandibular nerve injury and improved periodontal status.

BACKGROUND: Impaction of mandibular third molars predisposes to pathological conditions including periodontal disease. Extraction of these teeth also may lead to damage to the nerve and to periodontal involvement of the second molars. This report describes a series of cases in which the third molars were orthodontically induced to erupt to prevent the sequelae associated with extraction. METHODS: Impacted mandibular third molars in 18 patients were surgically exposed following placement of an orthodontic appliance. Depending on the individual case, 1 of 3 approaches was used: attachment of a bracket, placement of a post in the root canal, or placement of an orthodontic wire through a bucco-lingual canal. After suturing the mucoperiosteal flap, the orthodontic appliance was activated. After the tooth erupted, it was removed and periodontal parameters were measured on the second molar. RESULTS: No damage to the inferior alveolar nerve was found. Probing depths on the second molar were reduced from 7.9 +/- 1.6 mm on the buccal and 7.4 +/- 1.0 mm on the lingual to 1.8 +/- 0.7 mm and 1.9 +/- 0. 7 mm, respectively. There was an average gain of 5.0 mm in attachment. Keratinized tissue increased from 2.9 +/- 0.7 to 3.8 +/- 0.6 mm. CONCLUSIONS: The interdisiplinary use of periodontics and orthodontics results in non-surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars without damage to the inferior alveolar nerve and iatrogenic periodontal sequelae to the second molars.

Long-acting local anaesthetics in oral surgery. Clinical evaluation of bupivacaine and etidocaine for mandibular nerve block.

2 long-acting local anaesthetics, bupivacaine and etidocaine, have been compared to lidocaine with regard to effect during surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars and effect upon the immediate postoperative pain. It can be concluded from this study that both bupivacaine and etidocaine as well as lidocaine were highly effective and without significant difference with regard to pain blocking during surgery. Both long-acting solutions were significantly superior to lidocaine in providing an extended duration of postoperative pain control. Comparing the 2 long-acting solutions, patients in the bupivacaine group had a significantly longer pain-free period than patients in the etidocaine group.

Treatment of extensive malignant schwannoma of the mandibular nerve.

This article describes a rare malignant schwannoma invading the left mandible in a 42-year-old man. The clinical presentation, inconclusive radiographic findings, and light microscopic histology are included. The appropriate surgical treatment could be determined only intraoperatively when frozen sections provided the exact tumor margins. The patient subsequently received adjuvant treatment by brachytherapy.
