[Simultaneous removal of lower wisdom teeth with local anaesthesia: a pilot study].

To determine whether it is justified to remove both mandibular third molars in one session, 69 patients were treated single-sided and 53 patients double-sided using local anaesthesia (Ultracain D-S forte). All patients were healthy. The mean age was 24.0 years. No significant differences in complaints were found. Therefore, it seems justified to remove mandibular third molars double-sided in one session in healthy young patients.
