Operative removal of impacted mandibular third molars is a common and not riskless surgical procedure. We present an emblematic case of an osteoma closely associated with an impacted third left mandibular molar treated by Mectron Piezosurgery medical ultrasonic device.
Keywords: osteoma; piezoelectric bone surgery; tooth retention.
