DRWhen the saw reaches the impacted third molar, it starts chattering because enamel is harder than bone.
My move is to flatten the saw as I go over the tooth, then toe back in to recapture the cortex before flattening again to continue the osteotomy.
If you do not deliberately recapture the cortex, the saw will keep skipping while you try to find the cut again.
Sometimes the answer is not more pressure. It’s just a different technique.
