Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a field of dentistry concerned with the diagnosis and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the teeth, jawbones and surrounding oral tissues.

At Neovadent Dental Clinic in Kırklareli, Turkey, each patient's oral and jaw structure is carefully evaluated to develop an individual treatment plan based on their specific clinical needs.

What Treatments Does Oral Surgery Include?

Oral surgery procedures may include:

• Impacted and partially impacted wisdom tooth removal

• Surgical tooth extraction

• Dental implant placement

• Bone grafting and bone augmentation

• Sinus lift procedures

• Evaluation of cysts and other oral lesions

• Assessment of dental and jaw trauma

• Pre-prosthetic surgical procedures

The appropriate treatment is determined following a clinical examination and, where necessary, radiographic imaging.

Impacted Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom teeth may remain fully or partially impacted within the jawbone. In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, infection or damage to neighbouring teeth.

Not every impacted wisdom tooth needs to be removed. The decision depends on the position of the tooth, the patient's symptoms and radiographic findings.

Dental Implant Treatment

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed into the jawbone to support fixed or removable dental restorations and replace missing teeth.

Before implant treatment, the available bone volume and quality, gum health and overall oral condition are carefully evaluated. Treatment is planned individually for each patient.

Bone Grafting and Sinus Lift Procedures

In some patients, the available bone volume may not be sufficient for dental implant placement. Where clinically appropriate, bone grafting or sinus lift procedures may be considered to create suitable conditions for implant treatment.

The need for these procedures is determined through clinical and radiographic assessment.

What procedures are included in oral and maxillofacial surgery?

Oral and maxillofacial surgery may include impacted wisdom tooth removal, surgical tooth extractions, dental implant placement, bone grafting, sinus lift procedures and other surgical treatments involving the oral cavity. The appropriate treatment is determined individually following clinical examination and necessary diagnostic imaging.

Does every impacted wisdom tooth need to be removed?

No. Not every impacted wisdom tooth requires extraction. The decision depends on the tooth's position, the presence of symptoms, its relationship with surrounding structures and radiographic findings.

Is impacted wisdom tooth removal painful?

The procedure is generally performed under local anaesthesia with the aim of preventing pain during treatment. Temporary tenderness, swelling or discomfort may occur after the procedure.

When is a surgical tooth extraction necessary?

Surgical extraction may be considered when a tooth cannot be removed using conventional methods, is impacted within the bone or gum, is severely damaged, or has a root anatomy requiring a surgical approach.

Are dental implants part of oral surgery?

Yes. The surgical placement of dental implants into the jawbone is one of the procedures associated with oral surgery. Before treatment, bone volume and quality, gum health and the patient's overall oral condition are evaluated.

Does every dental implant patient need bone grafting?

No. Bone grafting may be considered when the available bone volume is insufficient for implant placement and the procedure is clinically appropriate for the individual patient.

How long does recovery take after oral surgery?

Recovery time depends on the type and complexity of the procedure and individual patient factors. Recovery following a surgical tooth extraction may differ from recovery after bone grafting or another advanced surgical procedure.

Is an X-ray required before oral surgery?

In many cases, diagnostic imaging may be required to evaluate the teeth, tooth roots, jawbone and surrounding anatomical structures. The appropriate imaging method is determined according to the individual clinical situation.
