As Private Dentagora Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic, the initiatives related to oral and maxillofacial surgery Izmir that we apply in all our branches are as follows:
Impacted Twenty Age Teeth
An adult has a total of 32 teeth in the mouth. However, many times there are only 28 teeth in the mouth, and our third molar tooth (also known as wisdom tooth or 20-year-old teeth) of the remaining 4 usually causes us various problems without being buried in the mouth.
These teeth, which are in the field of maxillofacial surgery, can continue properly if they can find a place in the chewing arc, and it is appropriate to remain functional in the mouth when the gum is healthy. Unfortunately, this desired situation is not encountered most of the time. They can not open the gums fully and they rub into the mouth in a trapezoid way, showing the position disorder we call malposition. In some cases, they remain completely buried under the gum. A wisdom tooth that is left in the jawbone cannot find a space that it can continue by changing positions in various ways. In cases where the tooth cannot continue fully, bacteria easily settle in the surrounding half-opened gum and the inflammation that we call pericoronitis begins. In cases where a trapezoid is worn, it puts pressure on other teeth and may disrupt a smooth tooth row. Another of the most important problems that may arise is the melting of the jawbone due to the cyst and tumor that will occur around the buried wisdom tooth.
All these problems are treated by tooth extraction. The removal of wisdom teeth in the early stages is an application we recommend to prevent future problems.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery İzmir Operations
Cyst Operations
Cysts may appear in the jaws for reasons that are attached to and not connected to teeth. Cysts cause loss of material and weakening of the jawbone by melting the jawbone. When they are not treated, they progress and cause spontaneous fractures in the jawbone, aesthetic and functional disorders. In order for them to be diagnosed on time, it is useful to have your specialist physician in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery in İzmir taken a panoramic x-ray every 6 months.
Apical Resection Operation
Apical resection operation is an external surgical intervention performed directly on the tooth roots that do not heal completely despite the stubborn and root canal treatment. In this process, some bone is removed and the root end of the infected tooth is exposed. Then, the infected area at the root tip is cleaned, some part of the root tip is cut off if necessary, and the wound area is closed and left to the healing process.

Nowadays, the main purpose of today’s dentistry is to prevent tooth loss as much as possible. Dentists now make every effort to keep natural teeth in the mouth. Because even the loss of a single tooth causes negative changes in general oral and dental health and aesthetic appearance. In order to prevent tooth loss as much as possible, it is important that you get treatment from our dentists who are experts in the field of maxillofacial surgery.
Abscess and Cyst Operations
Odontogenic (dental) cysts form in any area in the mouth. These cysts can be noticed by the patient by causing pain and swelling, and can reach quite large sizes without being noticed without any symptoms. After the jaw cysts are evaluated clinically and radiologically by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, they are treated using different methods according to their region and size.

Jaw and face injuries cause physical as well as mental traumas for patients. Such injuries can have many reasons such as motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, work accidents and assault. As a result of these injuries, from the teeth coming out of their sockets, to soft tissue damage inside and outside the mouth; many pathological conditions can develop, from simple bone fractures to complicated jaw fractures.
