Resumen
Abstract: The fourth molar, also called distomolar or retromolar due to its location
distal or posterior to the third molars, is a variant of number and shape that occurs
during odontogenesis. By means of the present clinical case, a 22-year-old female
patient who attended the dental office of the University of Cuenca School of Dentistry
was treated, with the need to have her third molars extracted in a single appointment
due to the limitations of COVID-19 and in which the presence of a fourth molar was
found in the radiographic exploration. Within the procedure, the osteotomy technique
was used for the surgical extraction of the fourth molar in order to prevent
displacement towards the maxillary sinus, in addition, the supplementation of
antibiotics to analgesic therapy was considered to minimize possible postoperative
complications. After the surgical procedure, consultative teleodonto-logy follow-ups
were carried out by means of a telephone call in order to supervise the adequate
intake of medications and verify the evolution of the patient
