Oral Surgery and Bone Reconstruction
Oral surgery at OI DENTAL CLINIC is organised around modern techniques and careful planning, with the aim of safety, precision and the smooth healing of the tissues.
Every case is assessed individually so that the appropriate therapeutic approach can be selected, with an emphasis on function, on the preservation of the tissues and on correct preparation for the next stages of restoration where these are needed.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be preserved, it is extracted using techniques aimed at the greatest possible comfort for the patient and at preserving the surrounding tissues as well as possible.
The procedure is planned so as to support smooth healing and, where necessary, the future placement of an implant or another restoration.
Bone Reconstruction
Bone reconstruction is carried out when there is an insufficient volume of bone, or when the area needs to be reinforced before or after an extraction and prior to implant treatment.
Using modern bone regeneration materials, a stable foundation is created that favours the long-term success of the restoration.
The approach is adapted to the anatomical needs of each patient and is based on detailed planning.
Surgical Preparation for Implants
In many cases the area requires proper surgical preparation so that the right conditions are created for an implant to be placed with stability and a predictable result.
Planning includes an assessment of the hard and soft tissues, and the protocol that best serves function and aesthetics is selected.
Modern Treatment Planning CBCT
Three-dimensional CBCT imaging allows an accurate assessment of the anatomy of the jaw, of the quantity and quality of the bone, and of the relationship with important anatomical structures.
In this way, treatment is planned with greater safety, precision and predictability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is surgical treatment painful?
Treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia and is usually well tolerated. Mild discomfort may follow for a few days.
When is a tooth extraction necessary?
When the tooth can no longer be preserved in a safe and predictable way because of extensive damage, infection or other serious problems.
What is bone reconstruction?
It is the process of reinforcing or regenerating bone so that the right conditions are created for a future restoration, often before implants.
How long does healing take?
Healing time depends on the extent of the treatment and can range from a few weeks to several months for the bone to stabilise fully.
Why is three-dimensional CBCT imaging used?
To assess the anatomy of the area accurately and to plan treatment with greater safety and predictability.
When can an implant be placed after an extraction?
This depends on the case. In some cases it can be done immediately, while in others a period of healing or bone reconstruction is required beforehand.
