Surgical Dentistry

11 May 2023

Surgical dentistry refers to the surgical treatment of pathological processes in the oral cavity, and it mainly includes the following directions:

Wisdom Tooth Extraction (Removal)

Wisdom tooth extraction is a common surgical procedure. Depending on the position of the tooth, they distinguish between retained (stopped cutting) and semi-retained (half-cut) eighth teeth. "Blits Dental - Kakhaber Kharebava Clinic" uses modern approaches and latest tools during tooth extraction. The surgical intervention is completely painless, under the influence of local anesthetic, which is why it is possible to minimize the risk of creating discomfort for the patient.

Tooth Extraction With One-Moment Augmentation

After the loss of a single tooth or a group of teeth, it is necessary to restore the integrity of the dental arch, which is possible with a dental implant. In many cases, there is a lack of bone tissue in the place of the missing tooth, which is a kind of difficulty for implantation. In such cases, it is necessary to augment bone tissue, i.e. to fill the defect with artificial bone. The socket left at the site of the extracted tooth, in which the root of the tooth was previously placed, is filled with artificial bone so that later it will be possible to install a dental implant in the place of the tooth defect and restore the integrity of the tooth row. Augmented area maintains the given shape, strength and ensures the highest quality of dental implant fixation.

Treatment Of Inflammatory Diseases Of The Face And Traumatic Injuries Of The Teeth

There are clinical cases when the inflammatory process in the patient's mouth is accompanied by a large amount of inflammatory exudate (purulent tissue). In the area of purulent focus, soft tissues are necrotic. It is in such cases that surgical treatment of inflammatory diseases of the jaw-face area is necessary. In the case of traumatic injuries of a tooth or a certain group of teeth (traumatic dislocation, teeth with the quality of shaking), it is generally necessary to sharpen them. Shining of teeth is the uniting of a certain group of teeth into one whole block, in order to distribute the chewing load and prevent the teeth from falling out, which was caused by a traumatic factor.

Lip And Tongue Ligature Plastic Surgery

The ligature is a thin tissue with a mucous membrane, which firmly fixes the lips and tongue in the correct position. When necessary, they stretch and allow the person to move the lips and tongue during speech. The location, length and elasticity of the bridle depends on the characteristics of the patient's oral cavity. There are clinical cases where the patient's leash is either too short or too long. Such cases require operative intervention and correction.

Tumor And Cystic Formations

Small benign tumors and cystic formations are removed by surgical methods, or cystectomy. At this time, the maxillofacial surgeon frees the patient's oral cavity from pathogenic tissues.

Apicoectomy

Apicoectomy means less invasive surgical manipulation. At this time, the pathological process is localized on the projection of the root or apex of the causative tooth (which means that the apex of the tooth is cut and the cystic tissue is scraped off). The apex of the damaged tooth root and the damaged tissue around it are surgically excised. During a similar type of surgical intervention, it becomes possible to cut the inflammatory focus and preserve the causal tooth.

Sinus Lifting

Sinus lifting, also known as subantral augmentation, is one of the types of bone tissue augmentation and is the first preparatory stage for dental implantation. When a patient loses teeth and needs to be replaced with implants, in most cases, the volume of bone tissue between the upper jaw cavity and the oral cavity is not sufficient to accommodate the implant. It is at this time that sinus lifting (subantral augmentation) surgery is needed. This is a bone-plastic operation, by means of which the necessary volume of bone tissue is created in the implantation area. In the second stage, during direct implantation, the artificial root and crown are firmly fixed in the patient's jawbone and in the partially augmented area. Worldwide, almost one in three patients who require implants also require a sinus lift - the projection of the maxillary chewing teeth. Basically, it is necessary to carry out the mentioned manipulation based on the anatomical features of the patient's jaw and face.

Oral Mucosa And Gum Plastic

If the patient's gums are covering too much or not enough covering the tooth, dentists mostly recommend to change the shape of the gum, surgically. Gingivoplasty is a less invasive surgical operation that provides the desired aesthetic result for the patient. In addition to the visual effect, healthy and healthy gums protect the teeth from the effects of environmental factors, and vice versa - in case of incorrect posture, the risk of tooth damage increases.
