ORAL SURGERY

Oral surgery provides invaluable assistance to many dental procedures.

function well, or if it is not possible it creates the possibility that an appropriate prosthesis can be prepared for you.

The oral surgery is now much more than many people realize. In fact, an independent medical discipline is considered a part of the dental oral surgery as well. In the latter deal with a little more detail.

Some important intervention in the area of ​​dental oral surgery:

- cure of the teeth, jawbone diseases (dento-alveolar surgery).
- removing teeth and their roots.
- restorative methods of surgical interventions.
- surgical removal of breakthrough stuck in teeth (wisdom teeth).
- surgical treatment of cysts and inflammatory diseases of the jaw, etc.. - Prosthetic preparation prior to surgery. - Dental implantology. (See c. Implantation menu!)

Today's sophisticated anesthetic techniques and anesthetic agents used in dental surgery is absolutely painless to perform. We call “surgery” all the oral surgery interventions, as thorough and careful preparations must be preceded, pure environment and perfect sterility of the instruments are required. By using proper surgical techniques and equipments the treatment and recovery phases require the shortest period of time. The remaining sensitive surgical site can be cleaned with a special tootbrush which can be purchased at our clinic. As a professional tool this will allow you to help heal the wounds as soon as possible and prevent any possible contamination.

Examples of the oral surgery interventions:

Tooth extraction by a simple manipulation (extraction)

Tooth extraction is a solution if the tooth is damaged to such an extent that it cannot be saved. Removing/extraction of the tooth will eliminate the patient’s pains. We call it Simple Extraction if the crown of the tooth is held in state or if the roots get loose, so: with a single motion it will be pulled out.

Tooth extraction by complicated intervention (tooth extraction)

Complicated procedure is required if the crown of the tooth we wish to remove is so damaged that the dentist will not be able to grasp it with pliers, and therefore further exploration is needed to gain access to the tooth, respectively to its root/s. This procedure means little or no bone loss, the wound doesn’t need to be sewn.

Tooth extraction by surgical intervention (tooth extraction)

We might face a specific tooth (eg, teeth that are under the gum, still embedded into the bone), which removal has a high degree of certainty of bone removal means as well. After tooth extraction by surgical intervention the dentist has to sew the wound, swelling is possible due to bone involvement. In this case, antibiotic treatment is needed, the resulting pain after the surgery can quickly and effectively be relieved.

Surgical removal of wisdom tooth

Wisdom teeth are not considered abnormal teeth, and since they are located at the end of each arch, it is much harder to reach them. Their roots are thin, crooked so they might bring surprises at the maxillar sinus, or at other important areas of the face. Their removal in some cases requires surgical intervention and caution, so the nearby areas won’t get affected.

Dental root apex removal (resection)

If at a root canal’s apex infection followed by inflammation occurs is when dentistry applies root apex resection as a solution, also called root tip amputation. It is an intervention designed to keep the tooth,we take a small incision at the root line on the gum, through which the root contacts the inflamed bone area and the root tip can be removed.

Sinus closing procedure

Unfortunately, sometimes when you remove an upper tooth, due to the tooth extraction the maxillar sinus will have an opening. This can happen if the root tip was very close, perhaps it is hanging in the sinuses, as in this case as a result of the removal of the tooth gap is created in the mouth and between the sinuses. The gap must be closed because of bacteria from the oral cavity may cause infection in the sinus cavity, which occurs in the form of purulent inflammation. The hole should be closed as soon as possible by a medical wrap and suture. After treatment, the patient shouldn’t swim or blow nose for about 2 weeks. Antibiotic therapy is recommended.

Preparation and removal of sutures

Extracting the tooth may cause a larger wound, or even bone loss, then the edges of the wound should be sewed with non-absorbable surgical suture in order for easier healing. Approximately after seven days the wound edges together, then the stitches can be removed.

Sinus lift surgery

The maxillary sinus is located in the upper jaw located at the height of the molars. The tooth root apex and the bottom surface of the maxillary sinus is separated with a few millimeters of bone. After the removal of a molar the remaining free space will not be used as before , resulting in the atrophy of the underlying bone. The bone becomes thinner and thinner with time after the removal of teeth. The atrophy can get to that extent that the left over bone is not even enough to insert the smallest screws in. In this case there is no other solution than the sinus lift surgery. This procedure takes place simultaneously with the inserting of the implant screws. Briefly about the surgery: the mucosa of the maxillary sinus will be lifted by few millimeters and the resulting hole will be filled up with bone replacing material so the implant can be easily placed into the upper jaw. The implant and new bone layer mineralise to their environment together or separately (if they did not have adequate bone layer).

A number of oral surgery treatments can be found that requires hospital (clinical) environment to be performed. Feherdent dentistry in such cases will be glad to help you finding a great hospital, through our clinical and professional connections.
