What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral Surgery is a branch of dental medicine that is closely related to implantology and periodontology. It covers any procedure that requires the cutting or removal of tissue or teeth from the oral cavity. Tooth removal, dental implants, removal of diseased tissue from the mouth, and corrective jaw surgery are some of the usual oral surgery procedures.
Changes in the oral cavity occur continuosly needing constant corrections to reduce further damage and to correct aesthetic and functional irregularities. The reasons for a tooth extraction are diverse and include a wide range of changes in the oral cavity, such as deep cavities, oral inflammatory disease or the appearing of wisdom teeth which have to be removed. All these changes affect the appearance of the oral cavity and, if not treated surgically, can lead to undesirable consequences for the patient.
