Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The safe removal of third molars involved with the inferior alveolar canal (IAC) has been an area of concern since long. Many times we hesitate for the removal of third molars, fearing injury to the inferior alveolar nerve. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The authors here describe a simple technique which can be used to remove third molars showing evidence of proximity to IAC on presurgical radiographic evaluation, as well as those root tips which, during removal, accidentally enter the IAC space. CONCLUSION: A step-by-step protocol is presented along with necessary precautions during the operative procedure.
