Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery; the removal of teeth and jaw fractures, drenched or buried teeth, as well as the treatment of deformities, cystic or tumoral pathologies, both in soft (cheek, palate, tongue, lip, muscles, etc.) as well as in hard tissues (teeth, bones); sustainability is a major discipline that includes corrections to help prosthesis construction. Chin-facial pain, jaw joint diseases, salivary gland disorders, correction of the jaw-face deformities are also within the scope of jaw surgery. However, the diagnosis, treatment and control of some systemic diseases in the mouth are also performed.

          Surgical interventions in dentistry are performed under local anesthesia. The most important ones applied in the clinical setting of surgical applications are female teeth, root end resections and implant applications.

Surgical tooth extraction applications are performed by different methods depending on the position of the teeth in the jaw. They may be completely embedded in the jawbone as in the case of gums. After oral tooth extraction, oral care should be kept at the highest level and smoking should not be used.

As with any surgical procedure, there are also some risks in jaw surgery. These complications are :

Swelling and / or redness, discomfort in the surgical field, Redness and cracking due to stretching in the mouth corners, Infection development and late healing of the wound, Dry socket; jaw pain, which usually starts a few days after surgery due to insufficient care; It is more common in the lower jaw shoots, especially in twenty-year-old teeth. Loss of adjacent tooth, especially in the presence of large fillers and crowns, loss of sensation or loss of sensation in the gums, lips, tongue, teeth and jaw tip. Especially the teeth of the age of twenty years such as the teeth close to the nerves can be seen.

However, bleeding in the form of leakage continues for a few hours. After shooting, sharp corners and bone steps can occur in the shooting gaps. They are corrected by a new surgical intervention. Absence of root fragments; Small stem fragments can sometimes be left to avoid damage to important structures such as the sinuses or nerves. Sinus relationship; the roots of the upper jaw posterior teeth are very close to the sinuses and in some cases the root fragments may escape to the sinus or an opening may be formed between the sinuses and the mouth; special attention should be paid to these situations. Jaw fractures; very rare, but difficult and deeply buried tooth is possible to occur.
