Dental surgery. Methods for preventing tooth decay and loss

Dental surgery. Methods for preventing tooth decay and loss

The key to dental health is correct and competent treatment, timely access to a specialist, detailed and professional dental treatment using optical equipment - an innovative microscope, which gives a 100% guarantee of a successful result. It is very important not to bring the situation to an advanced stage: when you really need to save the tooth and resort to urgent measures. Previously, any problematic tooth was subject to extraction, because specialists did not particularly fight to save the tooth. Fortunately, in our time of modern technologies and techniques, tooth extraction is carried out only in the most extreme cases than before. Therefore, in modern dentistry, there are such manipulations that are called tooth-sparing operations.

Tooth-sparing operations are a modern trend in surgical dentistry aimed at preserving the integrity of dental tissues and preventing tooth decay and loss. Such manipulations are aimed at avoiding and preventing tooth decay and its loss as much as possible. The only condition for a tooth-sparing operation is a timely visit to a specialist. If the patient turns to the dentist on time, then there are great chances to take all the necessary measures and eliminate the destruction and loss of the tooth. That is, such operations must have certain indications for carrying out. If the case is too neglected, unfortunately, tooth-sparing operations are not a panacea to avoid removal and loss. A unique and distinctive feature of tooth-sparing operations is the fact that they are mainly performed in an area of the tooth that is unusual for the patient - in the area of ​​its root.

Timely surgical intervention also helps prevent the formation of an inflammatory process in bone tissues and avoid a decrease in bone volume, since inflammation has a destructive effect on the bone. Such operations belong to surgical dentistry and should only be performed by a dental surgeon.

Dental-sparing operations are classified as complex and atypical manipulations, which are accompanied by certain risks. The fact is that often near the root of the tooth are the alveolar nerves and sinuses. Therefore, if a specialist is not qualified and does not have certain skills, serious complications can be obtained. That is why tooth-sparing surgical operations must be carried out by a highly qualified dentist-surgeon. In addition, if necessary, such operations can also include elements of endodontic and periodontal treatment. Dental-sparing operations should not frighten the patient, because such procedures are carried out exclusively with the use of anesthesia, while turning off discomfort and pain during the process.

Tooth-sparing surgeries are:

Tooth-sparing surgeries are:
  • Hemisection - an operation to remove part of a multi-rooted tooth and its root, the treatment of which is impossible. The remaining part of the tooth is used for further procedures to restore the dentition. This also makes it possible to use part of the tooth as a support for subsequent prosthetics.
  • Flap surgery - this type of surgery is effective in periodontal disease. Manipulations prevent further destruction of the bone tissue and ligaments that hold the teeth.
  • Resection of the root apex - a type of tooth-saving operation of a single-root tooth, when the upper part of the affected root is cut off, the decay products of tissues are removed, and the resulting cavity is filled with bone material. With such an intervention, the tooth fully retains its strength and can be used for further prosthetics.
  • Cystectomy - a manipulation that allows you to completely remove the cyst or granuloma. Usually, along with this surgical intervention, a resection of the root apex is performed, after which the resulting empty space is filled with artificial bone tissue.
  • Corono-radicular separation - allows the treatment of neglected caries in the area of root divergence in a multi-rooted tooth.
  • Replantation - an operation during which the doctor fixes the tooth in the hole after it has been removed, dislocated or knocked out. That is, the procedure allows you to restore the tooth. This type of operation is used for single-rooted teeth.
  • Root amputation - an operation during which the doctor removes the damaged root of a multi-rooted tooth. At the same time, the tooth crown remains intact and fully preserves the aesthetic and chewing functions.

Advantages of tooth-sparing operations:

  • Providing the opportunity to keep your natural tooth and provide it with absolute functionality
  • The patient does not have problems with the incorrect distribution of the load on the jaw during chewing
  • Rapid healing and recovery of the operated area
  • The possibility of using the restored tooth as a natural support for further prosthetics
  • Absence of radical atrophy of bone tissue
  • Possibility to exclude further destruction that can lead to tooth loss.
Advantages of tooth-sparing operations:

Indications for tooth-preserving manipulations:

  • Therapeutic dental treatment does not provide positive dynamics of treatment
  • Poorly treated canals have caused inflammation of the soft tissues and the formation of a tooth cyst or abscess
  • Formation of a pathological cavity in the center of the tooth
  • The case of the impossibility of filling the roots in the usual way
  • Damage to the crown part of the tooth and its root system, which cannot be cured and corrected by conservative therapeutic methods of treatment

Contraindications for tooth-preserving operations:

Contraindications for tooth-preserving operations:
  • Immunosuppressive conditions of the patient
  • Problems with blood clotting
  • Heart diseases
  • Respiratory diseases in acute form
  • Pregnancy
  • Exacerbation of chronic diseases
  • Tooth mobility
  • Spliced tooth roots
  • Presence of cracks
  • Periodontal diseases in advanced stages

Conclusion. For teeth that have suffered from caries and inflammatory processes, tooth-sparing operations provide a unique opportunity to save a tooth from destruction, loss in the future and significantly extend its viability. BUT, the existence of tooth-sparing operations does not mean that it is possible to save a tooth in any condition. If there are contraindications, operations are not performed, therefore, the specialists of the Sa-Nata network recommend that patients regularly attend consultations and treat their teeth on time, do not ignore preventive examinations and procedures, and, in general, carefully monitor the health of their teeth. Remember that prevention is the best cure! It is better, easier, faster and cheaper than saving and extracting a tooth.
