is a surgical procedure for preserving a natural tooth and eliminating the need to extract it. The procedure is performed on patients in whom endodontic treatment of an inflammatory or cystic process in the root canal has not led to the desired outcome. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is completely painless.
Before starting the procedure, the tooth has to be treated. During the procedure, minimal cutting and lifting of the gums are performed to access the root apex of the tooth where the pathological process is occurring.
A drill is used to remove a part of the tooth root along with the inflamed tissue, after which a biocompatible material is applied to close the root canal.
The treatment ends once the gums are sutured and healing takes place. Recovery usually takes several days, during which the recommendation is to avoid excessive chewing and maintain oral hygiene in line with the dentist’s instructions.
An alveotomy is a surgical procedure to remove impacted wisdom teeth and teeth that cannot be extracted using conventional methods.
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt in the jaws, and for most people, their growth does not cause major problems except temporary pain during the eruption. However, complications can arise if wisdom teeth lack adequate space for proper growth or if they grow in the wrong direction, which can cause bleeding around the adjacent teeth and inflammation.
Removing wisdom teeth is not a complex procedure and is routinely performed under local anesthesia. After the procedure, swelling of the surrounding tissue may occur, but this is normal and can be alleviated by applying cold compresses.
Bone regeneration is a procedure performed when there is not enough bone mass at the site where the implantation is planned.
When a tooth is missing, the bone ridge gradually loses volume and height. Ensuring the stability of the implant requires a high and adequately wide bone ridge.
If bone mass is lacking, bone augmentation techniques are applied for successful implantation. The procedure involves transplanting the patient’s bone or artificial bone substitutes.
After transplanting the patient’s bone or applying synthetic materials, it takes between 4 to 9 months for complete healing and integration with the surrounding parts of the bone to take place.
In consent with the patient, the most suitable method of bone regeneration is chosen, taking into account the size and site of the area where the implant is to be placed.
Bone regeneration helps create adequate bone mass to support the implant and provide a long-term and stable solution for replacing a lost tooth.
Sinus lift is a surgical procedure performed to add sufficient bone volume for successful implantation in the upper jaw.
After the loss of a tooth, the bone decreases in volume. Successful implantation requires adequate bone mass. Sinus lift adds bone to the sinus cavity in the upper jaw.
The sinus lift procedure uses artificial materials or the patient's bone. In some cases, the sinus lift can be performed simultaneously with the implantation.
In cases where the bone is insufficient, it is recommended to wait for a period of 6 to 8 months to allow for adequate bone volume before proceeding with implantation.
Sinus lift is a routine operation performed under local anesthesia. After the procedure, the patient can return to their regular activities after just 2 to 3 days.
Sinus lift facilitates successful implantation in the upper jaw, providing patients with a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring the ability to chew. The dentist will assess your particular case and recommend the most suitable sinus lift procedure to achieve optimal results.
