Surgical dentistry. Necessary services.
Surgical dentistry is a very extensive topic. In order not to delve into it and not to load you with medical terms, we will briefly tell you what exactly this science does and what services in maxillofacial surgery are provided by our clinic.
Many people have the opinion that surgical dentistry is exclusively concerned with the removal of diseased teeth. However, this is not the case at all. The scope of this branch of medicine is much wider.
Modern dental surgery is divided into:
- aesthetic (plastic);
- oncological purulent.
The goal of surgical dentistry is to completely, or at least partially, preserve the tooth. To do this, the surgeon uses surgical instruments to remove, for example, a cyst or clean out the abscess cavity, and then uses antibiotics to relieve inflammation. As a result of these actions, it is possible to stop the inflammation and prevent further damage to the jaw bones.
In addition to dental problems, surgical dentistry treats inflammation of the trigeminal nerve. If conservative treatment does not work, surgical intervention is prescribed. Modern minimally invasive technologies can significantly reduce the postoperative recovery time. Depending on the severity of the disease, the dental surgeon either releases the base of the nerve from compression by blood vessels or completely destroys the nerve base.
Plastic and reconstructive surgery on the jaws and gums is a separate category of maxillofacial surgery. Such procedures are performed only by highly qualified doctors, as the quality of their work affects not only the patient's appearance but also the quality of life.
We are proud that our dental surgeons have these qualities. ( About Oleksiuk Dentistry )
Most often, the help of a plastic surgeon is required in case of serious injuries that disrupt the integrity of the jaw bones and cause the teeth to lose their original position. Surgery allows not only to fuse the jaw but also to restore the dentition. For this purpose, special fiberglass splints are used, which are invisible to outsiders and do not cause any discomfort to the patient.
