In this case report, the authors discuss the technique of coronectomy in a 50-year-old patient with previous episodes of pericoronitis. As shown on the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), the third molar root was in close proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). Here, the authors highlight some surgical steps of the protocol that are crucial to the final clinical result. Following this surgical protocol, the authors have performed 85 coronectomies without any instances of intra-operatory failure after nearly 2 years of follow-up.1

Abstract
In this case report, the authors discuss the technique of coronectomy in a 50-year-old patient with previous episodes of pericoronitis. As shown on the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), the third molar root was in close proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). Here, the authors highlight some surgical steps of the protocol that are crucial to the final clinical result. Following this surgical protocol, the authors have performed 85 coronectomies without any instances of intra-operatory failure after nearly 2 years of follow-up.1File in questo prodotto:
