Dento alveolar surgery

Dentoalveolar surgery is a specialized branch of oral and maxillofacial surgery that focuses on procedures involving the teeth, alveolar bone, and surrounding soft tissues. These surgeries are commonly performed by oral surgeons, periodontists, and general dentists with surgical training.

Indications for Dentoalveolar Surgery :

• Severe tooth decay or irreparable damage
• Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or infection
• Orthodontic treatment requiring extractions
• Pre-prosthetic preparation for dentures or implants
• Periodontal diseases affecting bone and soft tissues
• Persistent infections unresponsive to conventional treatment

Dentoalveolar surgery is essential for maintaining oral health, addressing infections, and preparing the mouth for restorative procedures. With proper technique and post-operative care, these procedures are generally safe and effective in enhancing patient outcomes.
