      <Abstract>Perforation of the third mandibular molar (TMM) roots by the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) is rare and can be very difficult to determine by conventional radiographic method. It can be the cause of large defect while removing the TMM. This work reports the unusual case of a34 year old woman whose chief complaint was pain associated to the 48. Clinical examination showed gingival inflammation of the site. Radiological imaging reveals a wisdom tooth partially impacted with converging roots performed by the NAI. Treatment consisted in a coronectomy. The purpose of this case report is to show that coronectomy is the most appropriate and safer option to avoid the IAN injuries risk in such exceptional cases.</Abstract>
