Dentoalveolar Surgery
Dentoalveolar surgery refers to surgical procedures involving the teeth, supporting bone and surrounding soft tissues of the jaws. It encompasses a range of procedures where surgical management is required because of the position, condition or relationship of the tooth and surrounding structures.
Treatment may include surgical management of impacted teeth, complex dental extractions and selected conditions affecting the supporting tissues of the teeth and jaws. The appropriate approach depends on the patient's anatomy, the condition being treated and the complexity of the procedure.
Clinical assessment and appropriate imaging are important parts of treatment planning. Patients are provided with information about the proposed procedure, anaesthesia, recovery and aftercare before surgery.
