This document discusses preoperative assessment for minor oral surgeries such as wisdom tooth removal. It outlines the importance of assessing the patient's general medical history and bleeding risks. The local assessment examines factors like mouth opening, tooth angulation and relationship to nearby structures. Radiographs are used to evaluate the impacted tooth's depth, relationship to nerves and bone coverage. A thorough preoperative assessment is necessary to minimize complications, determine anesthesia needs and properly plan the surgery.
