What is an impacted wisdom tooth? Should it be extracted?
Fully Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Completely impacted wisdom teeth that do not cause any symptoms or risks may not need to be extracted with periodic radiological monitoring. However, extraction is necessary in the following situations:
If it causes damage to the root of the neighboring tooth
If it creates a زمینه for cyst or tumor formation
If pericoronitis (gum inflammation) attacks recur
Partially erupted wisdom teeth
Bacteria accumulating under the gum tissue above partially erupted wisdom teeth can lead to cavities, swollen gums, bad breath, cheek biting, abscesses, and crowding of surrounding teeth. Therefore, extraction of the vast majority of partially erupted wisdom teeth is recommended.
Impacted Canine Tooth Treatment
If impacted canine teeth can be brought into the mouth with orthodontic treatment, a combination of surgical opening and orthodontics is applied; if this is not possible, extraction is performed.
What is Sinus Lifting?
-
In the upper jaw, the sinus cavities adjacent to the molars may sag downwards due to premature tooth extraction or anatomical structure. In this case, there is insufficient bone height for implant placement. With a sinus lifting procedure, the sinus floor is lifted and bone graft (autograft, xenograft, or alloplastic) is placed in the space to provide the necessary bone volume for implantation.
Bone Graft
In cases of insufficient bone volume for implant placement, bone volume is increased using grafts taken from the patient's own bone (autograft) or biocompatible synthetic materials. At Prodenta, bone grafting procedures are integrated with implant planning.
Do surgical procedures require general anesthesia?
Standard oral surgery procedures are performed under local anesthesia. For patients with severe dental phobia or those requiring extensive procedures, general anesthesia or conscious sedation may be considered.
