# Mesial Inclination of Bur for the Sectioning of Impacted Distoangular Mandibular Third Molar: A Novel Technique

## TL;DR

A new technique is proposed to simplify the surgical removal of distoangular impacted molars by improving accuracy and reducing complications.

## Contribution

A novel method for sectioning distoangular impacted molars that avoids excessive bone removal and improves surgical outcomes.

## Key findings

- The technique avoids unnecessary buccal bone removal, preserving the bone structure.
- It improves the accuracy of root sectioning, leading to better surgical precision.
- The method reduces postoperative pain and swelling, enhancing patient recovery.

## Abstract

Distoangular impacted teeth account for about 4.8% of all impacted tooth angulations. Various indices in the literature used to assess the difficulty of surgically extracting impacted third molars indicate that distoangular impactions are the most complex. This complexity necessitates the development of specific skills by the operator. The difficulty arises primarily due to the challenging position of these teeth, which complicates access and instrumentation. The proposed method aims to simplify the sectioning process for distoangular third molars by avoiding unnecessary buccal bone removal, improving the accuracy of root sectioning, and preserving buccal bone. Consequently, this technique reduces postoperative pain and swelling, resulting in better patient outcomes.
