Dental surgery
Dental surgery is a branch of dentistry that uses surgical methods to treat the oral cavity and surrounding areas.
For an average patient, surgery means fear and pain. However, the modern treatment methods used at Denta Care centres are based on a ‘twin-track’ approach:
Overcoming fear – through pharmacological and psychological premedication (administration of sedatives, laughing gas – nitrous oxide, and clarification of the surgical procedure).
Overcoming pain – through the use of a wide range of modern anaesthetics, including no-needle anaesthesia systems, traditional anaesthesia systems with quick action agents, and general anaesthesia.
The most common surgical procedures in dentistry include:
- Extractions (including impacted and unerupted teeth).
- Uncovering of impacted teeth in a dental arch, extractions of wisdom teeth.
- Maxillary sinus augmentation.
- Treatment of complicated abscesses and oro-facial fistulae.
- Apical root end resections (apicoectomy), hemisections.
- Removal of fibromas, epulides, mucoceles, papillomas and other inflammatory lesions in the oral mucosa.
- Preparation of the oral cavity for prosthodontic treatment – frenotomy (undercutting the frenulum).
- Treatment of benign and malicious neoplasms of the mouth and lips as well as tumour-like lesions.
- Orthopaedic therapies of fractured teeth, alveolar processes and the jaws (maxilla and mandible).
- Treatment of salivary gland diseases and temporo-mandibular joint disorders.
