Background: The current study was conducted to assess the complications of third molar extraction. Material and methods: As part of the extraction procedure, third molars were extracted with or without the elevation of the mucoperiosteal flap and the retraction of the lingual flap. Additionally, bone was removed and tooth sectioning was performed with the assistance of surgical drills, elevators, and/or forceps. Following the removal of the tooth, the sockets were rinsed with chlorhexidine, bone abnormalities were addressed, and absorbable sutures were used to close the surgical incisions. Following the treatment, the patients were provided with comprehensive postoperative instructions, and appropriate antibiotics and analgesics were prescribed to them according to their needs. Following a period of three weeks, a routine follow-up was performed, and in the event that difficulties arose, an extended follow-up was planned. Results: 33 out of 100 subjects showed complications. The most common complication was lingual nerve injury (36.36%) followed by root fracture (21.21%). Other complications included tuberosity fracture, bleeding, soft tissue injury, damaged adjacent tooth, trismus, dry socket and inferior alveolar nerve injury. Conclusion: The majority of problems arising from the extraction of third molars were mild and fell within the documented ranges in scientific literature. Nevertheless, advancing age and the extraction of bone were correlated with an elevated likelihood of experiencing problems.
