A Multidisciplinary Approach for Managing Severely Malaligned Lower Molars.

An impacted mandibular molar is a common clinical situation that may damage adjacent teeth and impair periodontal health. Improper treatment brings the risk of damaging adjacent vital tissues. The risk can be reduced by early diagnosis and extraction of the impacted tooth by an experienced clinician. However, in clinical cases of two impacted molars, it may be beneficial for the patient to save at least one molar. This can be achieved by orthodontic alignment of one of the molars, while extracting the other. The decision should be based upon prognosis and risks for each procedure and for both teeth. The case presented here demonstrates a recommended clinical decision-making process before treatment, followed by monitored multidisciplinary treatment with adaptations made as the treatment progresses.
