What is Coronectomy?

Coronectomy is a specialized dental procedure performed to manage impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth that are in close proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve. In cases where the removal of the entire tooth poses a risk of nerve injury, a coronectomy is performed. During the procedure, only the crown portion of the tooth is removed, while the roots are left intact below the gum line. This approach helps minimize the risk of nerve damage and associated complications while still addressing the issues caused by the impacted or partially erupted tooth.
