Abstract
HERNANDEZ ALTEMIR, F.; HERNANDEZ MONTERO, S.; MOROS PENA, M. and HERNANDEZ MONTERO, E.. Security device for a better control of impacted third molars during exodontia: A new technique. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2005, vol.27, n.2, pp.109-111. ISSN 2173-9161.
Accidental displacement of impacted third molars is a complication that occasionally occurs during exodontia. The retrieval of these accidentally displaced third molars may be complex due to poor visibility and limited space. We describe an easy technique for a better control of impacted third molars during exodontia based on an anchoring system.
