Inclusion of the third molar is relatively frequent in oral and maxillofacial surgery, but ectopic placement is quite rare. Only a few cases of third molar inclusion in the condyle region of the mandible have been reported. Presented here are two cases of ectopic location of a third molar in the condyle of the mandible. A description of the management of this pathology through open surgery and extraction of the molar is given, while preserving the anatomy of the condylar region.
在口腔颌面外科中，第三磨牙的萌出相对常见，但异位萌出却相当罕见。仅有少数下颌骨髁突区第三磨牙萌出的病例被报道。本文介绍了两例下颌骨髁突区第三磨牙异位萌出的病例。文中描述了通过开放手术及拔除该磨牙来处理这种病变的方法，同时保留髁突区的解剖结构。
