Arrugui operation Arrugui is an operation in maxillofacial surgery that is aimed at removing impacted third molars (wisdom teeth) or resorbed third molar teeth. It was named after the surgeon Arrugo Rodriguez who first proposed it.
The main signs that wisdom teeth are impacted are the absence of a tooth on the jaw, but the presence of a tooth germ and the presence of a concavity in the area of the teeth where there should be a place for the lower third molars. There are many reasons why third molars may remain unerupted. They can be retained due to many factors, such as previous infection, alveolitis, cystic formations on the roots of teeth, etc. All these reasons make it impossible for them to fully develop and erupt. Also, patients often do not pay attention to changes in the shape of the face, the appearance of gum pain, swelling and asymmetry of the face after the eruption of the third pair of teeth. These teeth often cut on their own.
