Removal of the teeth (including the removal of the wisdom tooth removal of the wisdom tooth) is the most common surgery in the practice of a dental surgeon. The decision on the relevance to remove a tooth (including the removal of the tooth root) is taken by the dentist on the basis of clear indications and contraindications for removal.
We consider the most common indications for the removal of teeth, which can be divided into several groups:
Tooth trauma:
Fracture of the crown of the tooth without the possibility of further recovery
Medical prescription or therapeutic indications, because of the impossibility of performing conservative dental treatment due to:
Insufficiency of tooth tissues remnant is an indication for its removal. In the photo, the tooth before and after removing the previous filling
Inflammation of the tooth root is a cause of its removing
Orthodontic indications among which:
Impacted teeth: all wisdom teeth (4 teeth) and maxillary canine teeth. Displaced and impacted teeth are often NOT visible during visual examination, but are clearly visible on CBCT and X-ray
Impacted teeth, which, not only injure the buccal mucosa, but also adjacent (seventh) teeth.
The impacted wisdom tooth on the left traumatizes the adjacent tooth. Removal of wisdom teeth is shown
Supplementary teeth (hyperdontia) – increased number of teeth – on orthodontic and cosmetic indications;
Supplementary impacted wisdom teeth
Impacted and displaced teeth causing the cysts growth and inflammation in surrounding tissues, if these phenomena cannot be eliminated in another way;
Impacted maxillary canine tooth caused inflammation. All wisdom teeth are also impacted
Removal of displaced wisdom teeth, causing pathological processes in the surrounding tissues (difficult cut of the teeth).
Lying wisdom tooth (in the picture on the right) damaged the adjacent tooth. There are indications for the removal of wisdom teeth and treatment of the damaged 7th tooth
Periodontal indications, such as considerable tooth mobility, extension of the tooth from the alveolus with simultaneous exposure of the roots, especially when such a tooth interferes with chewing, traumatizes the surrounding soft tissues or prevents prosthetics.
A few words about the removal of a tooth implant. Fortunately, in the daily practice of most dentists this procedure is very rare and doctors resort to it only in extreme cases.
Dental implants, which have to be removed due to the appearance of cracks in them
Everyone knows that a dental implant is absolutely not susceptible to caries or corrosion, since it is made from commercially pure titanium. Nevertheless, there are conditions under which it is not possible to keep a dental implant, and it must be removed. There might be the following conditions:
Fracture of the dental implant
If the installation of the dental implant is done by a trained specialist, in compliance of all the implantation stages and using high-quality material (i.e, the implantologist’s work is performed at a high professional level), and all the rules of hygiene and care for the dental implant are observed, then with a high probability these unpleasant consequences can be avoided.
This is only a small part of all indications for the removal of the tooth. In any case, the dentist takes the decision to remove the tooth depending on each individual clinical case.
In most cases, the removal of the teeth (including the removal of the wisdom tooth, removal of the molar) is performed by the dentist under local anesthesia which makes it possible to remove the tooth without pain, but reserve tactile sensations (sense of touch, pressure, instruments’ vibration, etc.) for the patient. In case of excessive fear, anticipated difficult removal and prolonged surgery, inability to keep the mouth open, if the patient is toddler, or simply if the patient is reluctant to feel all the effects of the surgery, then it is possible to remove the teeth under general anesthesia or in a state of medical sleep.
In your opinion. how many teeth are necessary to be removed?
«How long does it take to remove the tooth?» – a question that is asked by all patients who are off to remove the tooth. On average, the usual uncomplicated tooth removal takes between 20 and 45 minutes. Depending on the specific clinical case, these figures may vary. Sometimes it takes more time.
Immediately after tooth removal, the postoperative period begins, during which the body begins to repair damaged tissues and directs protective functions to the area of surgery. In this regard, in a few hours after the surgery may appear:
On average, all of the above unpleasant things last from 3 to 7 days, but in some cases, sensation of pain can be present for up to 2 weeks, depending on the peculiarities of the dental surgery performed and the response of the body.
If the healing passes without any peculiarities, then as early as 2 weeks after tooth removal, a new granulation (vascular) tissue appears in the alveolar socket. At the end of 4 weeks after tooth removal, the granulation tissue is replaced with an osteoid (a new bone tissue, which will eventually become mineralized, turning into a trabecular bone tissue). Alveolar socket is externally epithelialized (covers), and, in fact, there is no marks of the removal. After the expiration of this period, it is possible to start the recovery of the lost tooth (if necessary) by one of the orthopedic methods of treatment – prosthetics of the teeth.
Particular attention should be given to the removal of third molars or the so-called “wisdom teeth“. Unfortunately, most people are experiencing certain problems related to these teeth to one degree or another. Why does this happen? Let’s try to see into matter. Due to the change in diet (reduction in the consumption of solid and firm food), the size of the dentoalveolar system of most people is gradually decreasing. In connection with the fact that the eighth teeth (or wisdom teeth) are embedded, formed and cut through in the last turn, then, as a rule, there is no adequate place in the dentition for them. As a result, the following situations may occur:
Due to the fact that such teeth have an incorrect position, the specificity of removal, the duration of the surgery to remove them and the postoperative period may differ from the conventional removal.
Displaced and impacted wisdom teeth have to be removed
Imagine a clinical situation when the wisdom tooth has not yet cut through, is deep in the full-thickness of the bone and partially “rests” on the adjacent tooth. In this case, the technique of atypical removal is used. That is, except for the removal of the wisdom tooth, the surgeon should additionally make a cut of the oral mucosa in the area of surgery in order to create access to that tooth. Then, if necessary, remove the bone tissue covering the crown of the tooth, divide the tooth into several parts (sectioned) using drills, and remove each tooth fragment separately. After removal, the alveolar socket is revised, curettage (removal of all inflamed and non-viable tissues) is performed, and a drug is left in the alveolar socket, which helps to heal it and prevents inflammation and bleeding. The alveolar socket is occluded to speed up the process of epithelialization. It sounds scary, but in fact, the sensations are not much different from the usual removal, except for increasing the duration of the removal manipulation itself.
In addition to wisdom teeth, atypical (difficult) removal is often resorted to when removing other teeth, since such removal is more predictable, less traumatic and creates favorable conditions for healing the alveolar socket and retaining bone tissue. And the latter for the dentist is always worth its weight in gold, since it is very important for further planning of implantation in this area!
