Traditional vs Orthodontic Extraction of Impacted Teeth Related to the Inferior Alveolar Nerve

Participants in this group will undergo traditional extraction method. This method involves uncovering the impacted tooth and extracting the tooth with or without dividing it.

"Participants in this group will undergo orthodontic extraction method. In this method, a two-stage surgical procedure will be performed. In the first operation, the impacted tooth will be uncovered, and then a button will be placed on the tooth. For anchorage purposes, orthodontic mini screws will be placed in the mandibular ramus or zygomaticomaxillary buttress area. Elastics and/or ligature wires fixed to the button will be attached to the mini screw to provide force for the traction of the tooth.~Patients will be called for check-up appointments every two weeks, and the movement of the impacted tooth will be monitored with panoramic x-rays. The second operation will be planned when the tooth moves away from the inferior alveolar nerve. In the second operation, the tooth will be extracted in a similar way to the traditional extraction group."
