Comparison Between the Lingually Based and the Buccally Based Triangular Flap Design in the Surgical Removal of Impacted Mandibular Third Molars

"A lingually based triangular flap was used to remove the impacted third molar. An incision was made adjacent to the distal surface of the mandibular second molar and extended along the sulcus to the distobuccal corner of the mandibular second molar, an oblique vestibular incision was made and extended into the vestibular fornix of the mandible. Aligned with the mesiobuccal cusp of the second molar.~It was continued posterosuperior towards the anterior border of the mandibular ramus An incision will be made from the anterior border of the mandibular ramus to the distal surface of the mandibular second molar."

The impacted teeth was removed using a buccal based triangular flap. It will be extended along the sulcus to the distobuccal corner of the second molar . The incision was continuous, with a relieving vertical incision, oblique into the mandibular vestibular fornix, aligned with the mesiobuccal cusp of the second molar.
