The therapeutic management of asymptomatic and disease free third molars is one of the challenges faced daily by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. To date there is a lack of conclusive information, problems in the interpretation of the recent literature, as well as different views among professionals when asked if it is better to perform a prophylactic or maintain an expectant attitude. The objective is to review the recent literature on the therapeutic decisions in these cases and discuss aspects of consensus and controversies. Search scientific evidence to support prophylactic third molar extraction. At present controversy continues regarding the optimal therapeutic management of an asymptomatic and disease free third molar. Conclusive evidence has not been found to justify prophylactic third molar extraction in the present review. Much more scientific evidence as well as the design of randomized clinical studies comparing the short-and long-term active surveillance and the extraction of third molars is needed.
