Resumen

DEL PUERTO HORTA, Myrna; CASAS INSUA, Leivis  y  CANETE VILLAFRANCA, Roberto. Retained third molars, their behavior in Cuba. Literature review. Rev. Med. Electron. [online]. 2014, vol.36, suppl.1, pp.752-762. ISSN 1684-1824.

Background: the aim of this work is developing a bibliographic review on the studies carried out and published in several Cuban provinces, approaching pre-surgery and post-surgery complications of the third retained molars. Methodology: we developed a search strategy with the terms: third retained molar, meta-analyses, systematic review, combined with pre- and post-surgery complications, using literature published from January 1990 to June 2013.   Discussion: in all the studies made in different Cuban provinces we found that the third molars are the teeth having greater retention possibilities, therefore their surgical treatment is almost always indicated; they present different pre- and post-surgery complications. Conclusions: with this review we arrived to the conclusion that in studies carried out in different Cuban provinces, the most frequent pre-surgery complication caused by the retained third molars was pericoronaritis, always accompanied by pain and edema, and the most frequent post-surgery complication was facial cellulites, almost always accompanied with trismus and pain.

Palabras clave : third molar; retained; complications; pre- and post-surgery.
