Tooth Extraction

With the development of technology and science, the priority in dentistry is to treat the tooth and keep it in the mouth. However, in some cases, tooth extraction may be necessary. Tooth extraction is the process of removing the tooth from its socket in the bone.

How is tooth extraction performed?

Tooth extraction is performed by dentists with surgical training. The dentist first applies local anaesthesia to numb the area of the tooth to be extracted. In some cases, general anaesthesia may be used.

The dentist cuts the bone and gum tissue surrounding the tooth and then grasps the tooth with a tool called a forceps and gently moves it. This is how the tooth is extracted. Difficult-to-extract teeth can be removed in pieces.

Bleeding is normal after tooth extraction. The dentist places gauze in the tooth cavity to stop the bleeding and tells the patient to bite down. In some cases, stitches may be needed.

What is Impacted Tooth Extraction?

Impacted teeth are teeth that have not fully erupted in the jaw. This may be due to problems with jaw size or other teeth taking up space. Impacted teeth can cause problems such as crooked tooth alignment and inflammation. In this case, tooth extraction may be necessary.

Why is a tooth extracted?

The causes of tooth extraction are varied. These can include decay, damage, jaw size problems, the need for orthodontic treatment and infections. Before Tooth Extraction

Before a tooth extraction, a detailed discussion with the dentist should take place. In particular, information about medical history and current health status should be provided. If there are other medical conditions, antibiotics may be needed before and after tooth extraction.

In conclusion, the tooth extraction procedure is an important step to maintain dental health and reduce pain when necessary. In all cases, however, appropriate precautions should be taken before and after tooth extraction and the dentist’s advice should be heeded.

Jaw tumors and cysts

Jaw tumors and cysts refer to various pathological conditions that can occur in the jaws. These diseases are usually caused by or associated with teeth. A biopsy is usually required for diagnosis and a definitive diagnosis is made by histopathologic examination. The treatment plan is determined depending on the type and extent of the disease.

Most cysts in the jaws form around the roots of the teeth. These cysts can grow over time if left untreated. In patients with a cyst at the root tip, simply extracting the tooth is not an adequate treatment. If the cyst remains in the bone after tooth extraction, it may continue to grow. In this case, as the cyst grows, it can compress or affect the surrounding tissues. As a result, surrounding teeth may also be affected and may need to be extracted. Therefore, treatment of cysts on the jaws may not be limited to removal of the cyst alone. Surgical intervention may often be required and the cyst must be completely removed. This is important to prevent the cyst from growing again and to prevent damage to the surrounding tissues. It is also important to protect the surrounding tissues during surgical intervention, so it should be performed by an experienced surgeon.

In summary, cysts in the jaws usually originate from the roots of the teeth and can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Therefore, when cysts are diagnosed and a treatment plan is established, a comprehensive approach should be taken and surgical intervention may be required.
