Lin JJ

Introduction

It is almost a routine practice to remove malposed impacted lower 3rd molars for the following reasons: pericoronitis, proximal caries or periodontal pocket formation due to difficulty in cleaning space between lower 2nd and 3rd molars. Some may also argue they could cause post orthodontic treatment crowding. (Int J Orthod Implantol 2011;23:4-17)
