Dentoalveolar Surgery

Problems occurring in the mouth and teeth regions, especially those arising from hereditary and structural causes, often necessitate surgical intervention. Additionally, procedures like dental implants, extractions, and other treatments can make surgery mandatory. Therefore, there is no single fixed problem source for dentoalveolar surgery. The primary reasons for undergoing this type of surgery can include:

• Wisdom tooth removal
• Teeth embedded in the gums
• Preparation for implants, prosthetics, root canal treatments, etc.
• Removal of non-cancerous lesions, cysts, or tumors
• Preparation of the area for periodontal surgical treatments
• Infections occurring in the gums or roots

These situations generally represent the reasons for undertaking dentoalveolar surgical procedures.

To perform a dentoalveolar surgical procedure, it is essential first to identify the primary problems in oral and dental health. Following the examinations, solutions are sought to address these issues either directly or indirectly. The process generally involves the following steps:

• The initial stage involves listening to the patient’s complaints and understanding the issues related to the mouth, jaw, teeth, gums, etc.
• If the complaints can be directly addressed through dentoalveolar surgery, then the operation process is planned.
• If there is a problem in areas such as the mouth, teeth, or jaw, the first step is to determine the appropriate treatment method. Then, obstacles to this treatment method are identified.
• The goal is to eliminate issues that hinder the proposed treatment using dentoalveolar surgery.

At this point, various types of operations that fall under the scope of dentoalveolar surgery may be considered. The patient’s condition then determines the continuation of the process. The success of this approach often hinges on a thorough and accurate diagnosis, followed by a carefully tailored surgical plan to address the specific issues identified.

If you are experiencing various dental, oral, jawbone, gum, or related problems, it is crucial to consult with an expert dentist promptly. Early consultation can help address potential health issues before they escalate. In cases of delayed attention, neglect, or dental problems arising from hereditary reasons, the first step is typically to apply treatment for the specific discomfort that has arisen. If the general condition precludes this, the decision to proceed with dentoalveolar surgery is made by the specialist dentist. Therefore, the dentist’s examination and decision are of great importance.

Patients do not have the authority to decide on such treatments themselves. They consult with a specialist dentist due to their complaint, and if deemed appropriate by the dentist, an operation is planned.

The key factor indicating the need for dentoalveolar surgery is when your dental health problems are unlikely to improve with simple treatments. Additionally, various issues that obstruct basic dental treatments need to be addressed first. In such cases, dentoalveolar surgery becomes a necessity. This surgical procedure can also be performed in conjunction with other types of operations. Sedation dentistry techniques are among the best examples of this, providing a more comfortable and less stressful experience for patients undergoing complex dental procedures.

Gum recession can occur due to various factors present from birth or developing with age. It can also result from incomplete coverage of teeth, leaving tooth roots exposed. Such conditions can lead to sensitivity initially, followed by rapid decay and other issues over time.

Dentoalveolar surgery helps to restore missing tooth or gum tissues. This procedure is known as dentistry bone grafting. It aims to reconstruct the affected area as closely as possible to the original tissues. This method is commonly used as a preparatory treatment before dental implant placement. Dentoalveolar surgery is performed in conjunction with the implant procedure to provide a more stable foundation for the implant, enhancing its longevity and effectiveness.

Impacted tooth conditions, which can involve various tooth extraction risks, require a specialized operation and treatment process. It cannot be treated with standard tooth extraction procedures, and it’s important to take early action in such cases. An impacted tooth that remains unaddressed can continue to exert pressure on the jawbone or gums over time and may cause structural damage to healthy teeth. Therefore, resolving this issue promptly with dentoalveolar surgery is crucial.

In the mouth and jaw area, abnormal formations with disrupted cell structures can emerge due to various reasons. Generally identified as oral cysts or tumors, these elements can occur after tooth development, root formation, extraction procedures, and many other dental processes. They can be removed from their location using various jaw surgery techniques and dentoalveolar surgery.

Dentoalveolar extrusion refers to the condition where teeth extend outward beyond the standard alignment. It can result from periodontal disease, trauma, loss of jawbone, and various dental treatments. The treatment depends on the factors that contributed to the issue and may involve dentoalveolar surgery methods. Additionally, recovery typically involves the following operational details:

• If it results from complications of previous dental treatments, those complications need to be addressed first. Subsequently, dentoalveolar surgical methods can be employed for treatment.
• For less severe cases of dentoalveolar extrusion, orthodontic treatments like braces can be used.
• Direct surgical operations on the teeth can be performed to align them correctly.
• In cases where tooth loss occurs due to the condition, methods like implants or prosthetics can be considered.
• Maxillofacial procedures may be applied to resolve alignment issues arising from the jawbone or other bones.

The above-mentioned options allow for the treatment of dentoalveolar extrusion, tailored to the patient’s condition and suitability for treatment. All these procedures are carried out with precision by Dr. Eren Pera and his team at Hospitaprime Clinic.
