How is pericoronitis of the third molar with trismus treated?
Treatment for pericoronitis of the third molar with trismus includes daily oral hygiene, local irrigation, local physical therapy, systemic drug therapy, and extraction of the affected third molar. These interventions help reduce pericoronal inflammation, relieve masticatory muscle spasm, and gradually restore mouth-opening function. If extensive facial swelling, respiratory distress, or other concerning symptoms occur, prompt medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital are recommended.
