Coronectomy Root Retrievals: A review of 92 cases

Coronectomy has become an increasingly prescribed surgical treatment for mandibular third molars deemed to pose a risk to the inferior dental nerve. The retention of the roots can have subsequent potential for root retrieval in the future if symptoms are reported. The long term outcome and symptoms leading to coronectomy root retrieval have not been well documented or studied which has understandably led to hesitation by some clinicians offering the procedure. The current series assesses the patients who have undergone root retrieval and their reported indication for removal as well as the histopathological status of the removed roots.
