Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of applying real-time dynamic navigation (RDN) in the extraction of deep horizontal mandibular impacted third molars, hypothesizing that RDN reduces surgical time and minimizes the risk of injury to adjacent anatomical structures. METHODS A prospective study was conducted on 160 patients aged between 18 and 37 years with deep horizontal impaction of the mandibular third molar. The participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (receiving RDN-assisted extractions) or the control group (undergoing traditional extraction methods). Preoperative planning utilized cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and Mimics software for the accurate localization and segmentation of impacted teeth. Parametric data were analysed via an independent t test for intergroup comparisons, and significance was set to p < 0.05. RESULTS In the experimental group, an average of 11 ± 1 min was required for preoperative planning via RDN, which was not required in the control group. The setup of the navigation system took an average of 4 ± 1 min in the experimental group and 0 min in the control group. The experimental group demonstrated a significantly shorter average surgical time (22 ± 3 min) than did the control group (36 ± 3 min). The differences in the preoperative design time, surgical time, and complication rates between the two groups were statistically significant (p = 0.005). Additionally, the RDN group reported no complications related to adjacent tooth damage or nerve injury. CONCLUSION The precision, safety, real-time guidance of RDN supports its use in complicated dental extractions, which would introduce a new era of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Abstract
Objective This study investigated the clinical effects and applicability of minimally invasive impacted teeth extraction using digital robots. Methods A marker was bonded to the non-surgical area before surgery. A Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan was obtained and uploaded to the robot software to determine the drilling position of the ring drill. During the surgery, the robot arm automatically navigated to a predetermined position, and the ring drill removed part of the bone tissue and exposed and extracted the impacted teeth. Finally, the surgeon tightly sutured the wounds to the surgical area. Results Three minimally invasive extractions of impacted teeth with robotic assistance were performed without complications. The surgical area showed good healing during the one-month follow-up examination. Conclusions Digital robot-assisted minimally invasive extraction of impacted teeth is a highly feasible clinical procedure as it minimises trauma to the surgical area and protects the surrounding blood vessels and nerve bundles, making it a safe and valuable technique with significant potential for clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The extraction of horizontally impacted mandibular third molars (HM3) can be a complicated surgery. Appropriate tooth sectioning methods can reduce the operation time and postoperative complications. PURPOSE The current study compares operative time and postoperative pain between HM3 removed using the three-piece or T-shaped tooth sectioning techniques. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, SAMPLE A randomized single-blind prospective clinical trial on HM3 extraction was carried out between June and December 2022 in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital, Southwest Medical University. Patients with local or systemic infection, poor oral hygiene, and systemic disease were excluded. PREDICTOR VARIABLE The predictor variable was the tooth sectioning method. The subjects were randomized to a three-piece or T-shaped group. MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLE(S) The primary outcome variables were the operative time and postoperative pain measured using a visual analog scale (VAS). The secondary outcome variables were the rates of primary bleeding, mouth opening reduction, swelling, patient satisfaction measured using a VAS, and quality of life measured using a postoperative symptom severity scale. COVARIATES The covariates included age, sex, side and classification of HM3, and the relationship of HM3 to the inferior alveolar nerve canal. ANALYSES The data were analyzed using the independent samples t-test, paired t-test, χ2, and rank sum test. A significance level set at P < .05. RESULTS The sample included 60 patients in the three-piece group and 66 patients in the T-shaped group. The operative time of the three-piece group (14.73 ± 3.21 minutes) was shorter than that of the T-shaped group (19.25 ± 4.29 minutes) (P < .05). On days 3 and 7, VAS of pain were 2.24 ± 1.89 and 0.15 ± 0.40 in the three-piece group and 3.95 ± 2.44 and 0.48 ± 0.68 in the T-shaped group (P < .05). The VAS of patient satisfaction in the three-piece group (6.05 ± 1.29) was better than the T-shaped group (4.90 ± 1.05) on day 7 (P < .05). CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE The three-piece tooth sectioning for HM3 removal was associated with shorter duration, slighter postoperative symptoms, and higher patient satisfaction and may be considered as a recommended practice for dentists.

Optimal tooth sectioning using a surgical handpiece and elevator: a finite element study of horizontally deeply impacted mandibular third molars. Clin Oral Investig 2024; 28:439.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To conduct a finite element analysis of the impact of different variables on tooth sectioning efficiency and trauma to surrounding tissues when utilizing high-speed surgical handpieces and elevators. METHODS CBCT data from the horizontally impacted third mandibular molar (M3M) of a patient were utilized to establish digital models of the M3M, adjacent M2M, and surrounding bone. To simulate tooth sectioning, a 3D finite element model was established with the following variables: remaining tooth tissue thickness (1-5 mm), tooth section fissure width (1-3 mm), elevator depth in fissure (2-6 mm), elevator position (buccal, lingual, central), elevator width (2-5 mm), and application of force (rotating, levering). Using this model, the distribution of stress on the M3M and the surrounding tissue was assessed while measuring tooth sectioning efficiency and trauma to the surrounding tissue. RESULTS Factors associated with uniform stress at the site of sectioning included thin (≤ 3 mm) remaining tooth tissue, appropriate fissure width (~ 2 mm), a wide (≥ 4 mm) elevator, and central elevator positioning. Levering the elevator yielded greater stress on the M3M than rotating force. Greater sectioning efficiency was associated with increased stress placed on the distobuccal side of M2M. CONCLUSIONS Tooth sectioning efficiency can be improved by adjusting the high-speed surgical handpiece and elevator. However, it is important to remain attentive to the trauma to which adjacent teeth are exposed during this process. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE These results offer guidance for approaches to improving operator efficiency and reducing trauma to surrounding tissues during tooth sectioning.

A mechanical and three-dimensional finite element study of the optimum tooth sectioning depth during the extraction of low-level horizontally impacted mandibular third molar. Odontology 2024; 112:242-249.

Abstract
The present study aims to determine the optimum sectioning depth for the extraction of low-level horizontally impacted mandibular third molar (LHIM3M) using mechanical and finite element analysis. One hundred and fifty extracted mandibular third molars were randomly divided into three groups: 1, 2 or 3 mm of tooth tissue was retained at the bottom of the crown. The breaking force of teeth was tested in a universal strength testing machine. The fracture surface was observed and the type of tooth breakage was recorded. According to the three groups, corresponding 3D finite element models were created. The breaking force obtained in the mechanical study was, respectively, applied and the stress and strain of the teeth and surrounding tissues were analysed. Breaking force decreased as sectioning depth increased. The 2 mm group produced the lowest rate of incomplete breakage (10%). In the 2 mm model, the stresses were evenly distributed in the tooth tissue at the bottom of the fissure, and the maximal stress was located in the tissue close to the root segment. The maximum values of stresses in the bone and of strains in the periodontal ligament of the second molar and bone were lower in the 1 mm model than in other models. Their distribution was similar in the three models. A sectioning depth of 1 mm group saves labour during the extraction of LHIM3M, compared to 2 and 3 mm; 2 mm might be the appropriate sectioning depth in terms of breakage shapes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Surgery of impacted lower third molars may be associated with postoperative complications. The aim of this study is to determine whether piezoelectric surgery is effective in reducing pain, swelling, and trismus compared to conventional rotary instruments during extraction of impacted lower third molars. METHODS For this systematic review, the searches were performed independently by 2 researchers. Randomized clinical trials that used the piezoelectric instrument for the removal of impacted lower third molars in humans were included. The predictor variable was the study group (piezo surgery vs rotary instruments). The main outcome was the analysis of postoperative pain, swelling, and trismus. Data analysis included risk of bias assessment (RoB 2 Cochrane) and meta-analysis with heterogeneity based on random effects I2 and 95% confidence interval. RESULTS In the initial results, 956 articles were revised and after applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, the final sample was composed of 18 publications, all being randomized clinical trials. The results of this meta-analysis demonstrated a significant reduction in pain scores with a Cohen's d of -0.95 [CI 95% = -1.23 to -0.67] of high clinical impact (P < .001). In the piezo group there was a significant increase in mouth opening of 4.29 [CI 95% = 2.33 to 6.25] mm (P < .001). Regarding swelling, Tragus-Ang and Go-eye, both showed a significant reduction in the piezo group (P < .001). There was a significant increase of 7.32 [CI 95% = 4.40 to 10.24] minutes in the piezo group (P < .00001), and none of the studies showed a significant risk of bias. CONCLUSIONS Piezo proved to be effective in reducing pain, swelling, and trismus in third molar surgeries even with longer surgical time, but due to the lack of standardization in primary studies regarding swelling, new, controlled and standardized studies should be carried out with the objective of proving the effectiveness of this therapeutic modality in the reduction of postoperative swelling.

Abstract
Background: Dermatoglyphics can be utilised in clinical settings to identify those who are more likely to have impacted teeth. Additionally, dermatoglyphics looks to have potential as a non-invasive diagnostic method for predicting the presence or absence of an impacted tooth. The goal of this study was to look at the most common dermatoglyphic pattern in people who had or didn't have an impacted mandibular third molar teeth and see if there was a dermatoglyphic signature. Methods: A cross-sectional study with 180 participants was conducted (90 cases and 90 controls). The rolling impression technique was used to apply blue duplicating ink to participants' fingertips, which was then recorded. There was an increase in the frequency of the whorl-plain pattern in the right-hand ring finger (60%; p=0.028) and left-hand little finger (33.3%; p=0.009), as well as the loop-ulnar pattern in the right-hand middle finger (74.4%; p=0.024) in individuals with a predisposition to the presence of impacted teeth. Results: The left-hand little finger was found to be the most predictive for impaction in a forward stepwise binary logistic regression analysis. Conclusions: Dermatoglyphics could be used as a non-invasive sign to predict whether or not a tooth is affected. Its value comes in early detection, which helps to avoid the surgical problems that come with symptomatic extraction of an impacted tooth.

[PMID: 35668519 PMCID: PMC9169269 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-022-02253-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2021] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The high-speed hand-piece bur is one of the methods to perform tooth sectioning during the minimally traumatic extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. During tooth sectioning, the breakage of the bur might take place when it is improperly used. Three cases of the breakage and displacement of a high-speed hand-piece bur during extraction are reported, aiming to remind dental surgeons of this complication. Case presentation The bur fragment in case 1 was embedded in the mandibular bone under the previously removed crown of tooth 48 and distal to tooth 47. The bur fragment in case 2 was embedded in the lingual edge of the socket and partly beneath the mucosa on the lingual side. The position of the bur fragment in case 3 was similar to that of case 1 but was completely embedded in the spongious bone. The three cases were performed by first-year residents, and all of the bur fragments were successfully removed by attending doctors after accurately locating them by radiological examination. Conclusions In order to avoid breakage of the high-speed hand-piece bur, the number of uses of the bur should be monitored and the integrity and state of the bur should be carefully checked. Moreover, light pressure with little lateral force should be used during tooth sectioning. If bur breakage and displacement occur, the retrieval protocol should be determined based on the imaging findings and conducted as soon as possible to avoid serious consequences.
