Periodontal healing after mandibular third molar surgery--A comparison of distolingual alveolectomy and tooth division techniques.

The purpose of this study was to compare the periodontal healing of mandibular second molars after the removal of impacted mandibular third molars using distolingual alveolectomy and tooth division techniques. A total of 120 consecutive healthy patients who presented with bilaterally impacted mandibular third molars were included in this study. The same operator removed the impacted third molars on both sides in all patients. The third molar on one side was removed by distolingual alveolectomy using a chisel, whereas the contralateral tooth was removed by the tooth division technique using burs. Attachment level, periodontal pocket depth and bone healing distal to the mandibular second molars were assessed at 7 days, 3 months and 6 months after surgery. The results showed better periodontal healing and bone healing when distolingual alveolectomy was employed, especially in the removal of deeply impacted mandibular third molars.

[Induction alveolectomies and root malformations].

In connection with 2 cases of dental retention due to radicular malformations, the authors draw attention to the following three points: 1. The diastema in which the retained tooth develops should exceed its mediodistal diameter. 2. The malformation of the root is not a counter-indication for induction alveolectomy: this triggers growth of the alveolar bone satellite of the tooth, following a process different from the usual mechanism of dental eruption. It could mean that the coronary portion, which is of epithelial origin, is rejected by its bony, connective tissue environment. 3. They would like diagnosis of dento-maxillary disharmony to be graded: --difficult to judge from X-rays alone; --dubious when abnormalities in the transverse diameter of the arches also contribute to crowding of the teeth.

Residual cyst: an incidental finding during alveolectomy.

A case of a residual cyst with hyaline bodies from the 26 region discovered fortuitously during alveolectomy is described. The importance of preliminary radiographic evaluation is emphasised. Differential diagnosis from the unicystic ameloblastoma is discussed.
