Research Progress on the Method of teeth sectioning for Minimally Invasive Extraction of Mesial and Horizontal Impacted Mandibular Third Molars Xiang Li, Qiaozhen Dai, Jun Wang, Haixiao Zou 2025, 28(1):  7-11.  DOI: 10.12337/zgkqjxjyzz.2025.01.003 Abstract ( 26 )   PDF (1995KB) ( 11 )   As the most common surgical operation in oral surgery clinics, the core of mandibular third molar extraction is to effectively relieve the resistance of adjacent teeth, bone and soft tissues. Mesial and horizontal impaction, the most prevalent form of impaction, frequently results in the coexistence of adjacent teeth and bone resistance due to their anatomical position. The evolution of surgical instruments, from the splitting chisel method to high-speed turbine handpiece technology, and the subsequent development of novel instruments such as ultrasonic bone knives, has underscored the pivotal role of the sectioning method in overcoming resistance. This article reviews the sectioning methods and techniques in minimally invasive extraction of mandibular third molars, with a view to improving extraction efficiency and serving as a reference for clinicians.

Methods: A total of 94 patients who underwent oral surgery at Dalian Stomatological Hospital were selected as the research subjects and divided into the experimental group and the control group according to a random number table method, with 47 cases in each group. The control group was induced anesthesia by target-controlled pump injection of remifentanil and propofol, while the experimental group was induced anesthesia by target-controlled pump injection of remifentanil and intravenous injection of remimazolam besylate. The hemodynamic indicators heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP), perioperative analgesic and sedative effects, and the occurrence of adverse reactions during and after the operation were compared between the two groups after entering the room (T0), after the completion of anesthesia induction (T1), at the beginning of the operation (T2), and at the end of the operation (T3). Results: HR and MAP in both groups showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing (P<0.05), and HR and MAP of the experimental group were lower from T2 to T3 (P<0.05). The visual analogue scale (VAS) of the two groups showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing (P<0.05), and the VAS score of the experimental group was lower at 2 hours, 6 hours, 24 hours after the operation (P<0.05). The Ramsay scores of the two groups showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing (P<0.05), and the Ramsay score of the experimental group was lower from T0 to T3 (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative adverse events between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions: Remimazolam combined with remifentanil in oral surgery can effectively reduce intraoperative hemodynamic fluctuations in patients, exert good analgesic and sedative effects, and have relatively few adverse reactions, which can provide a reference for clinical application.
