  • Title: Coronectomy of mandibular teeth other than third molars: a case series.
    Author: Samani M, Henien M, Sproat C.
    Journal: Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2016 Sep; 54(7):791-5. PubMed ID: 27256801.
    Abstract:
    Coronectomy is gaining popularity for the management of mandibular third molars that pose a risk of injury to the inferior dental nerve, as it considerably reduces the risk when compared with extraction. The technique could also be beneficial to other teeth. We report 17 patients who had coronectomy of mandibular teeth that were not third molars. Clinical and radiographic follow up for a median (range) of 12 (1-79) months showed satisfactory healing and no transient or permanent injury to the nerve. None of the retained roots have required retrieval.
