Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases and Surgery is a surgical branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, injuries and deformities related to the mouth, teeth and jaws.
Some situations that are not normal in the jawbone, teeth or gums of people can only be resolved with a surgical intervention. Surgical interventions that must be performed on the mouth, teeth and jawbone are mandatory and necessary interventions for the continuity of the person’s oral and dental health.
Simple tooth extraction is the technique used to extract the teeth visible in the mouth. It is performed under local anesthesia. In simple tooth extraction, the tooth is held with the help of a tool. Before the tooth is extracted, it is loosened by making forward-backward movements. This movement can sometimes be done with the help of a tool that enters between the tooth and the gingiva. Thus, the tooth is extracted with the least trauma.
Surgical extraction, on the other hand, is the technique used in the extraction of teeth that cannot be seen easily in the mouth, broken at the gingival border or not erupted. In some cases, there may be bone on the tooth that needs to be removed. After the tooth to be extracted is divided into sections, it may need to be removed. In these cases, surgical extraction is applied. As in normal shooting, the procedure can be performed with local anesthesia. In order to reach the tooth, the gingiva must be opened. In order to reach the tooth, bone removal is done with Er:YAG.
