Abstrak

Surgical extraction of the third molars is frequently performed because they often do not have enough space to erupt properly, resulting in partial or complete impaction and causing pain, infection, cysts, and damage to adjacent teeth. The decision to remove third molars is based on clinical and radiographic evaluations, considering factors such as angulation, depth of impaction, and presence of symptoms. In some cases, general anesthesia or sedation is required. The post-operative period may include swelling, pain, and bleeding, managed with pain relievers and antibiotics. Possible complications include infection, nerve damage, and the formation of a dry socket.
