Figure 2
Surgical extraction of mandibular left 3rd molar for Case 1. Presurgical evaluation included panoramic (a) and periapical (b) radiographic assessment in addition to clinical examination. The procedure was started by a pyramidal flap incision followed by mucoperiosteal flab elevation (c). Next, bone removal to expose the impacted molar was completed as needed followed by guttering buccally and distally. The site was sutured with simple interrupted sutures using 3-0 silk and hemostasis achieved (d).
