Oral Surgery - what is it and when is it needed?

Oral surgery is an area of dentistry that deals with surgical procedures performed in an oral cavity. While the “usual” tooth extraction can be performed by a general practice dentist, surgical tooth extraction is performed a specialist in oral surgery.

Most common procedures in oral surgery are:

  • wisdom tooth extraction
  • removing tooth roots
  • apicoectomy (a root tip removal)
  • cystectomy
  • frenectomy

Oral surgery is required in the situations when a general practice dentist assesses that it is more complicated and cannot be performed by him/her alone.

Along with these most common procedures, oral surgery is applied even when gum surgeries and parodontopathy treatments are required.

Mostly, routine surgeries are conducted.

Additionally, they are performed with local anesthesia which makes the procedure completely painless.

After the surgical procedure, patients receive instructions and go home. The length of recovery depends on the type of the procedure.

Surgical wizard tooth extraction

Surgical wisdom tooth extraction is one of the most common interventions of oral surgery. Due to various problems that can be caused by wizard tooth, for majority of people, wisdom tooth extraction is the best solution. 

Wizard teeth or, in medical term the third molars, are the last eighth teeth in a jaw. Unlike other teeth, they erupt much later, usually in twenties. Since people at that time are mature and more intelligent compared to the period when other teeth erupt, wizard teeth are named like this.

Interestingly, functional significance of wizard teeth for a modern man is almost minimal. Therefore, it can be said that wizard teeth are a certain “evolutionary legacy”. Unfortunately, for most people, they are not a reminder of ancient ancestors, but the source of a problem as well. 

The most common problem regarding wizard teeth is the lack of room in a jaw, so during the eruption they may have a negative impact on adjacent teeth. Therefore, a wizard tooth can cause damage to adjacent teeth or cavity on adjacent seventh teeth due to inability to be cleaned or result in periodontal pockets, because a wizard tooth is growing at the wrong angle.

Moreover, inflammation may also occur. During eruption, between wizard teeth and gums there is room in which food particles get trapped.  This leads to the inflammation called pericoronitis. Cysts can also be formed. 

Naturally, it is possible that wizard teeth erupt without making any major problems; therefore, extraction is not necessary. In this case as well, it is also necessary to make additional efforts to maintain oral hygiene, which can be a bit more difficult due to their position. 

If it is determined that wizard teeth are erupting at the right angle or that there will be no room for them, then surgical extraction of the wizard teeth is advised so as to avoid potential problems. Since the tooth has not erupted yet, then oral surgery is the only solution. As tooth extraction is not possible by the usual method (using pliers), gums have to be firstly slightly cut to enable the access to the tooth. Afterwards, the tooth is extracted by releasing it from the bone, after which the wound is sewn. 

Having completed the surgical extraction of the wisdom tooth, the recovery lasts for 7 days, after which stitches are removed. During this period, it is extremely important to follow the instructions that you receive from your dentist. Here are some tips:

  • Avoid rinsing your mouth.
  • Apply ice packs or cold compresses.
  • Do not eat while anesthesia lasts, afterwards eat soft food, avoid warm meals.
  • Do not smoke two days after tooth extraction.
  • Consult your dentist about taking analgesics.
  • Consult your dentist about taking antibiotics.

In our office, the price for wisdom tooth extracting is rather reasonable. For more information, please feel free to contact us.

Removing tooth roots

Removing tooth roots can be done by an oral surgical procedure if it cannot be removed by ordinary non-surgical methods. 

Tooth root is mainly removed if it cannot be strengthened and used for a dental prosthesis in the case of a short root, tooth abscess infection or cyst.

The intervention implies cutting and lifting the gum away from the tooth, so the root is easily accessible. It is very important to remove tooth abscess infection, if it starts developing. Afterwards, the tissue is stitched back in place.

The removal of a root is painless, because it is done by using local anesthesia. During the recovery process, it is important to follow the following basic instructions:

  • Apply ice packs or cold compresses.
  • Eat mushy and soft food.
  • Enhanced oral hygiene with additional attention paid to the stitches.
  • Consult your dentist about taking analgesics.
  • Consult your dentist about taking antibiotics.

Apicoectomy

Apicoectomy is an oral surgical procedure done by resection of the tip of a tooth root.

The need for apicoectomy occurs if there is an infectious process at the top of a root that cannot be treated by conservative methods. In this case, apicoectomy is the only solution for the teeth preservation.

The intervention implies cutting and lifting the gum away from the tooth, so the root is easily accessible. Afterwards, the top of the root and a part of the bone around it are removed. It is very important to remove the infection with the utmost care so as not to have re-emerging infection. The next step is to fill the root canal and in the end, the tissue is stitched back in place.

The intervention is carried out with local anesthesia. The stiches are removed in 6-7 days. It is important to follow the basic instructions of a dentist during a recovery process similar to those of the removal of a tooth root.
