" It covers the surgical procedures performed on the hard and soft tissues of the lower and upper jaw. It is generally used for the removal of impacted wisdom teeth."
As in all branches of general medicine, surgery is a field of study that requires a very special discipline and coordination. In dentistry, surgery is performed on the jawbones, hard and soft tissues (palate, lip, tooth roots) and jawbones, and it should be applied by specialist physicians and high discipline in order to be intertwined with veins and nerves.
1. Removal of teeth attached to the jawbone and tooth roots
2. Embedded 20-year-old female extractions
3. Removal of gingival and bone abscesses, cysts and tumors related to tooth roots or originating from soft tissue
4. Detection and treatment of jaw fractures
5. Placing the implants placed in the jaw bones
6. Application of facial paralysis, jaw joint and muscle pain, neuralgia treatments
7. Application of tooth root tip (Resection) surgeries aimed at saving the tooth in unsuccessful root canal treatments
8. Planning the maxillofacial aesthetics required to complete orthodontic treatment in advanced ages and applying the operations together with orthodontics.
The reason why impacted wisdom teeth are a problem is that this tooth is not needed genetically and our jaws are getting smaller and smaller. As our jaws get smaller, wisdom teeth are forced to find a place for themselves and therefore cannot come out like other teeth. The wisdom teeth, which cannot find a place for themselves, push the front tooth and press, which causes crowding. In addition, they can easily become inflamed because they are too far behind and the surrounding gingiva is not in a normal anatomical structure.
Fully impacted wisdom teeth usually do not cause problems. But they need to be followed up with x-rays. Although they are fully embedded, they can press on the roots of the anterior tooth, damage it and cause some cystic formations around it. In this case, they must be surgically removed.
Partially erupted wisdom teeth are the ones that cause the most problems. Since they cannot come out completely, the piece of gum (hood) on them becomes inflamed due to the escaping of food residues and bacterial growth over time. As a result of inflammation of the gum around the tooth; pain, swelling, abscess occurs. They create a suitable environment for caries. In this case, they must be surgically removed.
Fully erupted wisdom teeth; they usually do not cause problems, but because they are too far behind, they are difficult to brush. For this reason, it is recommended to withdraw as a preventive measure in patients whose oral care is not very good.
It can cause crowding by putting pressure on the anterior tooth.
It can cause caries in the anterior tooth.
Since it creates a suitable environment for inflammation, it can cause pain and swelling from time to time.
The existing inflammation mixes with the blood at a weak moment of the body; It can settle in vital organs such as the heart, kidney, brain, joints and can be life-threatening.
