The differences between removal of maxillary and mandibular wisdom teeth include different nerves for local anesthesia, different difficulty of removal, and different important anatomical structures around the wisdom teeth, as follows.
1. Nerves to be anesthetized: removal of maxillary wisdom teeth requires anesthesia of the anterior palatine nerve and posterior inferior alveolar nerve, while removal of mandibular wisdom teeth requires anesthesia of the lingual nerve, buccal nerve and inferior alveolar nerve.
2. Difficulty of extraction: Maxillary wisdom teeth are less difficult to extract than mandibular wisdom teeth because the maxillary alveolar bone is looser and more elastic, and the buccal and distal mesial sides of the maxillary wisdom teeth do not have important anatomical structures, and the reaction to flap surgery is less severe.
3. Important anatomical structures around the wisdom teeth: the roots of the maxillary wisdom teeth are close to the bottom of the maxillary sinus, which may cause penetration of the maxillary sinus during extraction, and the roots of the mandibular wisdom teeth are close to the mandibular neural tube, which may cause nerve damage during extraction.
It is recommended to visit a regular medical institution to receive professional treatment.
