20 Years Tooth Extraction (Surgical)

APPLICATION

The nerves and surrounding tissues of the impacted wisdom tooth are numbed locally.

The necessary grinding procedures are performed on the jawbone.

If the position and root structure of an impacted wisdom tooth prevent its extraction as a single piece, the tooth is divided into suitable parts.

The tooth is extracted either as a single tooth or in multiple pieces.

Any abscessed areas in the surrounding tissues are cleaned.

Blood plasma obtained from the person's own blood is placed in the extraction chamber.

The procedure is completed by stitching.

To prevent infection, a 5-day course of appropriate antibiotics is administered.

Should every impacted wisdom tooth be extracted?

Absolutely not. On the contrary, impacted wisdom teeth that cause or could cause problems should be extracted. Impacted wisdom teeth in the jawbone that don't cause discomfort should be carefully examined, and if it's determined they won't harm other teeth or the mouth, extraction shouldn't be considered. Otherwise, even if the dentist doesn't want to, problems can arise after extraction in a otherwise healthy mouth. There's no rule that every impacted wisdom tooth must be extracted.

Problems Caused by Impacted Wisdom Teeth

The main problem is that it crowds existing teeth and causes them to become crooked, leading to orthodontic problems.

An inflammatory area called an eruption abscess forms around wisdom teeth that fail to erupt. This can cause pain and swelling.

Uncleaned gum pockets can form in the mouth, leading to bad breath and cavities.

Wisdom teeth positioned horizontally can damage, or even erode, the root of the healthy tooth in front of them.

Unerupted wisdom teeth, especially in women, can lead to undesirable growth of the jaw and mouth.

If left untreated, inflammation around infected wisdom teeth can erode the jawbone and reach the nerve canal. If this inflammation blocks the nerve canal, it can cause numbness in the lower lip.

Failing lower wisdom teeth can cause widespread swelling in the gum tissue above them, making chewing difficult. This can lead to severe pain.

Wisdom teeth that don't erupt can cause spasms in the muscles of that area, leading to problems such as not being able to open the mouth sufficiently, and in some cases, even jaw locking.

Factors Affecting Success in Wisdom Tooth Extraction

The doctor's experience, expertise, knowledge, and skills are very important.

Upper wisdom teeth are very close to the sinus cavity, and lower wisdom teeth are very close to the nerve canal. In fact, in 30% of cases, the roots of these teeth are inside the sinus cavity or nerve canal. If the person's sinus cavity or nerve canal is damaged during surgical extraction, serious complications can occur. (Serious complications such as sinusitis, sinus perforation, nerve canal damage, and persistent numbness due to nerve canal damage)

In the extraction of impacted wisdom teeth, the most minimally invasive surgical methods should be preferred. Otherwise, a very painful process may occur after the extraction. Along with severe pain, many problems such as significant swelling, jaw locking, chronic infection in the extraction area, and failure of the extraction site to heal may develop.

If uncontrolled force is applied during extraction, the tooth in front of the wisdom tooth can be seriously damaged. This damage may necessitate root canal treatment.

If new methods are preferred during wisdom tooth extraction, and surgical grinding is performed on the tooth to be extracted rather than on the jawbone, the result is more successful.

The water used for cooling during the operation should be sterile saline or distilled water to maintain sterility of the surgical site and prevent infections.

Applying a cold compress for 6-8 hours after the procedure can partially prevent swelling.

The patient's consistent use of medication and adherence to the doctor's recommendations are among the factors that influence success.

Technology

Using a surgical piezoelectric motor helps avoid serious bone trauma that may occur after extraction.

The PRF generation device produces plasma from the patient's own blood. This plasma is placed in the extraction cavity, significantly preventing infection, bleeding, and tissue atrophy that may occur in the cavity.

Surgical handpieces and bone separation burs: when necessary, modern aggressive bone burs significantly shorten the procedure time and prevent problems arising from prolonged surgical time.

Modern, precision root extraction elevators allow for easy removal of tooth roots without damaging the bone.
