In society, the extraction of impacted teeth, that is, wisdom teeth that usually cannot come out in the mouth, cyst operations, removal-cleaning operations of oral tumors, implant surgery, frenilectomy - vestibuloplasty - frenulum - (i.e. formations such as lips, cheeks and tongue) The branch of maxillofacial surgery performs operations for the release of muscle attachments (muscle attachments that connect it to hard tissue), Lefort surgeries that concern the jawbone and are required for orthognathic treatments with orthodontics, direct interventions on joints, and joint surgeries. They are grouped.
Surgery of impacted teeth;
It is the process of extraction of third molars that usually have eruption problems in the mouth. Since these teeth erupt between the ages of 17 and 25, they are also called wisdom teeth. This is present in cases where the teeth are left in the mouth. Wisdom teeth may not need to be extracted if they grow properly in a direction that will contact the opposing tooth without causing space constraints. The teeth that experience eruption problems on the palate after wisdom teeth are canine teeth. These can also be removed from the palate or maintained with orthodontic brackets.
Why do wisdom teeth need to be removed?
CARISE: If saliva, bacteria and food residues accumulate in the socket formed during the eruption of the tooth, it may cause tooth decay. and may threaten the female next to him. It is difficult to detect these early. If decay occurs, it may cause infection and abscess in the teeth and surrounding tissues. Painful conditions may occur.
GUM ABSCESS (PERICORONITIS): It is one of the most common reasons for wisdom tooth extraction. In partially erupted teeth, the infection in that area spreads to the soft tissue and causes bad breath, It causes pain and edema. In some cases, inability to fully open the mouth occurs (trismus). If this condition progresses further, it spreads to the cheek and neck area through the lymph. Since this area is not cleaned well, it is prone to infection.
PRESSURE PAIN: During eruption, wisdom teeth may put pressure on neighboring teeth and cause pressure pain in that area. or even wear and resorption of the adjacent tooth. may cause burns.
FOR ORTHODONTIC PURPOSES: Many young individuals receive orthodontic treatment to correct crooked teeth. The eruption pressures of wisdom teeth apply force to other teeth and cause them to push, and as a result, crookedness occurs in the teeth. REASONS FOR PROSTHESIS: We must take wisdom teeth into account when planning prosthetics, because wisdom teeth are rarely used as prosthetics. In some cases, wisdom teeth may need to be extracted for this reason.
CYST FORMATION: Cystic formations may occur due to the non-resorption of the surrounding follicle (sheath) while the impacted teeth are erupting. These formations can grow and cause resorption (wear) in the bone, creating large gaps in the bone and weakening the jaw bone. These can cause fractures in the jaw bone. In rare cases, these cysts can turn into tumors. In order to avoid this risk, the extraction of wisdom teeth is done without delay.
I have no discomfort with my wisdom tooth, should it be removed?
Even if you do not have any discomfort with your tooth, you need to see your doctor for a check-up, get examined and see the condition with a panoramic film. . If there is no problem in its position, no infection, tightness of space, caries problem or bad breath, it can be evaluated later. But it should not be forgotten that all of these can suddenly appear at an unexpected time and cause much more distress and pain. They can also be withdrawn for protection purposes to prevent this situation from arising.
