A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from the mouth.
There are several reasons:
A dental implant or dental anchor is a medical device – a kind of titanium – inserted into the maxilla or mandible and intended to create an anchor capable of supporting a removable or fixed dental prosthesis.
Bone grafting is a surgical method to increase the bone volume of the jaw. Bone grafting is sometimes necessary before placing dental implants. Indeed, dental implants which act as artificial dental roots are anchored in the bone. However, for the anchorage to be sufficient, the underlying bone volume must also be sufficient.
This is the intravenous administration of drugs to control pain and swelling, as well as eliminate anxiety (nervousness).
Oral pathology is the science that deals with all diseases and lesions that can affect the teeth, soft tissues and bones of the mouth. These are multiple and require diagnosis, as well as appropriate treatment. Clinical evaluation and biopsy are sometimes indicated.
Oral trauma is injury to the mouth, including the teeth, lips, gums, tongue, and jaw bones. Soft tissue injuries to the mouth and dental trauma are usually very painful and need to be treated quickly. The most common dental trauma is a broken or lost tooth.
