Oral Surgery 

Oral surgery, also referred to as dento-alveolar surgery, comprises the specialized branch of dental medicine focusing on procedures conducted within the alveolar region. This encompasses a range of operations such as dental extractions, apical resections, and abscess drainage. At Trident Bucharest, dental surgical interventions are executed by  specialists with extensive practical experience in the field. 

When is dental surgery recommended? 

Dento-alveolar surgery encompasses procedures that are typically less complex than oro-maxillo-facial surgery, which may involve interventions such as implants, sinus procedures, bone grafts, tumor removal, or orthognathic surgery for malocclusions. Generally, dental surgery interventions are performed under local anesthesia. However, if necessary, other types of anesthesia can be administered, facilitated by our fully equipped operating rooms and our multidisciplinary team of specialized doctors. 

Dental surgery procedures, particularly tooth extractions, are indicated in the following situations: 

• Presence of impacted teeth: Fully formed teeth that have not erupted from the gum, potentially causing orthodontic issues, necessitate surgical removal. 
• Tooth fracture below the gum line: Traditional extraction methods are not suitable in this scenario, requiring a gingival incision. This procedure is performed by a dental surgery specialist. 
• Dental crowding: When orthodontic treatments fail to achieve proper alignment due to overcrowded teeth. 
• Root infection: When endodontic treatments are insufficient in resolving infections at the tooth’s root. 
• Dental cysts: Apical resection, involving the removal of the lesion without coronal-radicular intervention, is performed to address dental cysts. 

Dental surgery services provided at Trident Bucharest are recommended by our specialists following thorough consultations and imaging assessments, if deemed the most suitable therapeutic approach. The procedures performed by our surgeons include: 

• Extraction of impacted teeth. 
• Wisdom teeth extraction. 
• Removal of root remnants (residual roots within the alveolus). 
• Apical resection or apicoectomy (elimination of the infected portion of the tooth root along with associated infection). 
• Periapical curettage (elimination of infected tissue surrounding the tooth root without removing the root tip). 
• Excision of dental cysts. 

Recovery after dental surgery 

Recovery following dental surgery typically spans a few days, with the duration varying based on the nature of the procedure and the individual’s healing capacity. 

Postoperative adherence to the treating physician’s directives regarding medication, dietary considerations, and oral hygiene is paramount for successful recovery.
