It carries a risk of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury, which may result in altered or lost sensation of the lower lip, chin, teeth, and gingiva. Coronectomy, a surgical technique in which the crown is removed while the vital roots are retained, has been proposed to reduce this risk in cases with close root\u2013nerve proximity. We report the case of a 41\u2010year\u2010old female patient in whom cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed the IAN coursing between the roots of an MTM. Coronectomy was performed to preserve nerve integrity. Follow\u2010up CBCT demonstrated significant migration of the retained root complex within 6\u201312\u2009months, increasing the distance from the IAN. Five years later, infection associated with the retained roots required surgical root removal. Owing to the favorable migration of the root complex, extraction was completed without IAN injury. This case illustrates that, despite the possibility of late complications requiring reintervention, coronectomy may facilitate root migration away from the nerve and allow safer delayed root removal in anatomically high\u2010risk situations. Careful patient selection, meticulous surgical technique, and long\u2010term radiographic follow\u2010up are essential. Further high\u2010quality long\u2010term studies are needed to standardize coronectomy protocols, evaluate complications, and assess cost\u2010effectiveness compared with conventional extraction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.73673","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,12]],"date-time":"2026-10-12T07:25:07Z","timestamp":1791789907000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Root Migration After Coronectomy of a Mandibular Third Molar With the Inferior Alveolar Nerve Passing Between the Roots: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-6938-0310","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vito","family":"Marquez Rocco","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Aalborg University Hospital  Aalborg Denmark"},{"name":"Karolinska Institutet  Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9590-2039","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreas","family":"Thor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Sciences Uppsala University  Uppsala Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Plastic and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Uppsala University Hospital  Uppsala Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-0807-896X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdullah A.","family":"Hashim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery V\u00e4ster\u00e5s Hospital  V\u00e4ster\u00e5s Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-0573-5465","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dominique","family":"Bellerud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Karolinska Institutet  Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.identj.2023.07.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joms.2019.06.186"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijom.2014.10.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10006\u2010022\u201001072\u2010z"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/joor.12589"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joms.2009.09.097"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joms.2023.09.024"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13005\u2010015\u20100068\u20107"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/9161606"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1051\/mbcb\/2017036"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_2_13_12_1","article-title":"Factors Affecting Root Migration After Coronectomy of the Mandibular Third Molar","volume":"100","author":"Lee N.
