Surgicalremoval of impacted third molar is one of the common surgical procedures
carried out in the oral and maxillofacial surgery set up. Surgical management
of impacted third molar is difficult because of its anatomical position, poor
accessibility, and potential injuries to the surrounding vital structures, nerves,
vessels, soft tissues, and adjacent teeth during surgeries. To overcome these
hurdles of surrounding anatomical structures of third molar; we embarked on
this review of literature to make the reader more aware of the surgical anatomy
as well as possible complications associated with these structures. For a
comprehensive review, we have categorised this anatomy into hard tissues and
Soft tissues.
Whenthe mandible is viewed anteriorly, it is seen that the ramus tends to flare out
buccal from the distal aspect of the third molar region. Mandibular third molar
is situated at the distal end of the body of the mandible at the junction of
mandibular body and the ramus. This junction constitutes a line of weakness and
The lower third is embedded between a thick buccal cortical plate which is
buttressed by the external oblique ridge and on the lingual side is present the
comparatively narrower lingual cortical plate where is connection with
relatively thin ramus.
