Ridge augmentation

The part of the jaw where teeth roots are located is called alveolar ridge. The alveolar ridge is resorbed in the case of periodontitis or after the extraction of a tooth. An often requirement during implant placement is to secure enough jaw bone width and height, namely ridge expansion. This procedure, except in implantology, is used in other instances too. In the place from where the tooth was extracted bone resorption is faster and it negatively impacts surrounding teeth and the ridge which starts to “sink” in time. If the patient decides to put a metaloceramic bridge in order to compensate for the lost tooth, then an artificial bone is placed for cosmetic reasons.

The procedure

Synthetic bone placement during implant placement

This procedure is used when there is a flaw caused by either bone resorption because of an inflammation or bad remodelation of the bone because of tooth loss or extraction. Synthetic bone is placed around the implant where the bone is deformed in order to initiate the growth of new bone and by doing that it produces a more natural and aesthetically better ridge.

Synthetic bone placement as a condition for implant placement

After mucous is separated from the bone a synthetic bone is placed on the alveolar ridge. A protective membrane is placed over it, and then the mucous is stitched back. By doing this the synthetic bone is protected and new bone growth is initiated. After a certain period (a minimum of 6 months) implant placement can begin.

FRENULUM RESECTION - FRENECTOMY

Frenulum is a small fold of tissue which connects the lip or tongue with the floor of the oral cavity. Frenectomy is a routine procedure which is done if the frenulum is tied to the gums. By doing it, gum recession and periodontitis in that area are prevented.

ROOT RESECTION

Teeth are held in place by a root that is integrated into the jaw bone. The end or top of every root is called apex. Nerves and blood vessels come into the tooth over it.

CYSTS AND CYSTECTOMY

Cysts are patological cavities coated with tissue and filled with liquid. They can develop in both jaws and in the soft tissue (mouth, cheek) .Dental cysts appear as a reaction of your organism to the constant infection that comes through the dental pulp which is infected.
