Intra-operative failure was reported to be 3.6% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20098). Complications accounted for pain (15%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200924), infection (9%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200915) and dry socket (3.6%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20096). Three patients required removal of M3M root at 3 months (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092) and 24 months (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091), accounting for 1.8% re-operation rate. A total of number of patients who suffered a nerve injury was 12; three of these were permanent (LN \u2013 1.2%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092; IAN \u2013 0.6%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091), nine were temporary (IAN \u2013 1.2%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092, LN \u2013 2.4%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20094; site not specified \u2013 1.8%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20093).

The treatment outcomes can be improved with careful case selection and adjusting surgical technique, including assessment of root morphology, incomplete crown sectioning technique and avoidance of lingual retraction. Reporting of coronectomy success as a factor of surgical outcome, presence or absence of permanent IAN injury, persistent symptoms or any other long-standing complications (such as LN injury), and the need for re-operation accounting for root migration status may be a useful tool to measure coronectomy outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10006-024-01244-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,3]],"date-time":"2024-04-03T02:01:28Z","timestamp":1712109688000},"page":"1227-1239","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["The success rates and outcomes of mandibular third molar coronectomy: 167 cases"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7820-6100","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sylwia Maria","family":"Nowak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jessie","family":"Justice","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aneesah","family":"Aslam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamed Imran","family":"Suida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1\u20132","key":"1244_CR1","first-page":"15","volume":"13","author":"K Knutsson","year":"1989","unstructured":"Knutsson K, Lysell L, Rohlin M (1989) Postoperative status after partial removal of the mandibular third molar.
