Dental surgery

Modern approach to surgical procedures in dentistry

For an average patient, surgery means fear and pain. However, the modern treatment methods used at Medicover Stomatologia centres are based on a ‘twin-track’ approach:

• Overcoming fear – through pharmacological and psychological premedication (administration of sedatives, laughing gas – nitrous oxide, and clarification of the surgical procedure).
• Overcoming pain – through the use of a wide range of modern anaesthetics, including no-needle anaesthesia systems, traditional anaesthesia systems with quick action agents, and general anaesthesia.

The most common surgical procedures in dentistry

• Extractions (including impacted and unerupted teeth).
• Uncovering of impacted teeth in a dental arch, extractions of wisdom teeth.
• Maxillary sinus augmentation.
• Treatment of complicated abscesses and oro-facial fistulae.
• Apical root end resections (apicoectomy), hemisections.
• Removal of fibromas, epulides, mucoceles, papillomas and other inflammatory lesions in the oral mucosa.
• Preparation of the oral cavity for prosthodontic treatment – frenotomy (undercutting the frenulum).
• Treatment of benign and malicious neoplasms of the mouth and lips as well as tumour-like lesions.
• Orthopaedic therapies of fractured teeth, alveolar processes and the jaws (maxilla and mandible).
• Treatment of salivary gland diseases and temporo-mandibular joint disorders.
