Protrusive Dental Pearl: When you are sectioning a mesio-angular impacted tooth, start your section 1-2 millimeters more mesial to where you think the furcation is - you will have a tendency to drift distally and therefore more likely to HIT that furcation which is when the magic begins.

Opening Snippet: The situations where I failed in, I noticed when the third molar roots are directly touching the second molar roots. Okay? That's what makes it difficult and if you look at at the classification of that, that's a distal angular impaction.
