Oral Surgery

      The most common surgical intervention is the romoval of tooth (tooth extraction). Usally pain, motion, extremely damaged tooth may need removal. Before the removal of tooth and other dental surgery patients are informed in detail about the course of the intervention, healing and possible complications. After signing the consent of the intervention is carried out: After local anesthesia and removal the gums surrounding the toot the dentist extract the tooth with forceps and close the wound with gauze to the coagulation. Patients get post-extraction advise. The wound of extraction takes at least a week to heal, but in some cases it may be more time. In many cases, it is possible to save the tooth as well (such as root canal treatment), it is considered a dentist's responsibility.

      If too little tooth material is remained to extract with forceps, elevator or oral surgery bone cutter device can bebe used to remove the root. Difficult cases may need to suture the wound to promote healing.


    Special, but unfortunately it is often the case the romoval of a growth retardation tooth. The dentition of third molar tooth is usually caused the problem by that press, move the other teeth and/or the surrounding gums become inflamed. The extraction is more difficult when the teeth is under gum, or difficult situation of location. In such cases, first disconnect the surrounding gums, where appropriate bone cutting or dissection of tooth can create a situation to remove the tooth. At the end of the treatment tissues are sutured.

The retention of the upper third molar cause a extensive caries of the second molar. Both teeth were removed. The retention of the upper and lower third molar. The horizontal location of the lower tooth can not pierce. Dentists help needed.

      If despite a root canal treatment and proper root canal filling the inflammation persists, it may be necessary an additional surgical interventions to save the tooth. The root resection (apiectomy) is to clean the area around the root apex.

      Root resection begins making of a gingival flap. After finding of the apex it will be removed with a oral surgery bone cutter device, because of the potential surcles of root canal. The inflamed periapical tissues (granuloma, cyst) will be removed and the wound sutured. Another solution may be removing one of roots, to half a tooth, etc..

      There are a number of further surgical intervention, which rarely occurs, making on oral surgical wards. They are however described aside.
