  • Impacted wisdom teeth

Impacted wisdom teeth

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt in the mouth. If the wisdom teeth erupt properly & surrounding gums are healthy, then these wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. In any case if the wisdom teeth are prevented from properly erupting with in the mouth, extraction of wisdom teeth becomes necessary. When these wisdom teeth gets partially erupted the opening around the tooth allows bacteria to grow, causing an infection which will result in stiffness, pain& illness. The pressure from the erupting wisdom tooth may move other teeth & disrupt the natural alignment of teeth. The most serious problem occurs when the tumours or cysts form around impacted wisdom tooth resulting in destruction of jaw bone & healthy teeth. Removal of offending impacted tooth usually resolves these problems.

Preprosthetic Surgeries

The preparation of your mouth before the placement of a prosthesis is referred to as prosthetic surgery. It is actually the bone ridge on which the denture will rest. So it is very important that ridge bone sharp & size should be in proper condition to support denture. If the tooth needs to be extracted the underlying bone might be left sharp & uneven. For best fit, sometimes excess bone removal should be done before Denture insertion. One/more of the following procedures might need to be performed in order to prepare your mouth for denture.
