Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Extraction of the tooth (A) is a definitive treatment option if the pericoronitis is recurring and severe or if the tooth is impacted and causing repeated infections. Removal of the excess tissue (B) can also provide definitive treatment by preventing food and debris from accumulating under the flap of tissue and causing further infection. Scaling and gingival curettage (C) are non-surgical treatment options that aim to clean the affected area and promote healing, but they may not provide definitive treatment for pericoronitis.
