COMBINED CHISEL - AIR TURBINE TECHNIC FOR IMPACTED MANDIBULAR THIRD MOLAR SURGERY
Abstract
The chisel and air turbine technics were combined for removal of impacted mandibular third molars. The basic steps are as follows: (1) to remove bone with the air turbine; (2) to limit use of the mallet and chisel to a single split and to use air turbine for additional sectioning of tooth; (3) before tooth is split, to remove bone adjacent to coronal element to be sectioned; (4) to use carbide bur on dentin and to use a diamond stone only when dividing tooth involving large segments of enamel.
