Abstract: A series of complications, such as external root resorption, deep periodontal pocket formation, caries on second molar, and marginal bone loss, are frequently caused by impacted mandibular third molars. Here we reported a case of minimally invasive extraction of deeply impacted mandibular third molar in horizontal position with external root resorption on second molar. The strategy of root removal first was adopted to prevent further damage to second molar during extraction.
