Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
This is a case report of a 30 year old female who reported to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr D. Y. Patil Dental College & Hospital, Pimpri, Pune with a chief complaint of swelling in the lower left back region of the jaw. The patient had a history of trauma to left angle region 25 years back (at the age of 5 years), for which she was treated extraorally under General Anesthesia. Clinical examination and radiographic findings revealed a metallic compression plate present on the left mandibular second and third molar region along with reduced height of mandible on left posterior body region and presence of impacted second and third molar teeth. The patient was operated under General anaesthesia for removal of the implant and the impacted teeth. There was no intraoperative or postoperative complications reported and healing occurred uneventfully.
