Abstract
The odontectomy procedure is still commonly used to address the impaction of the third molar. Impaction of the
third molar usually causes discomfort, prolonged pain, swelling, accumulation of leftover food, and recurrent
infections due to the abnormal position of the tooth. Third molar impaction generally requires surgical
intervention, where simple cases can be managed with local anesthesia, but in some complex cases, odontectomy
is often performed under general anesthesia. The opioid free anesthesia technique is now widely used for several
surgical procedures. This case highlights the use of opioid free anesthesia in complex tooth extraction procedures
and the outcomes produced with this technique.
