ORAL SURGERIES, WHAT TYPES HOW TO PREPARE (PART 2)

Read about types of oral surgeries, ways to prepare for them

The first part of the article was about defining oral surgeries, what major oral surgeries there are. We also talked about what kind of oral surgeries there are and for what purpose they are performed. In this second part, oral surgery is also the topic, more precisely, how to prepare for it. What to do and what not to do, what is to our advantage, and what is harmful. Let’s see!

HOW TO PREPARE FOR ORAL SURGERIES

You need to be consciously prepared for a successful surgery. Tooth extraction or any tooth-related surgery (root canal, implantation) is usually a simple, low-bleeding, so-called invasive procedure. Nevertheless, in our own interest, it is advisable to prepare thoroughly. If we choose conscious preparation instead of anxiety, self-blame, or fear, we have a much better chance that oral surgery will be a quick and painless intervention for us, followed by faster recovery.

The loss of a tooth, whether conscious in us or not, also has spiritual implications. In essence, this also entails mourning reactions, like the loss of any person or object that is important to us.

A common reaction is anger, during which we blame either ourselves or our dentist for the loss of a tooth. Why I didn’t clean them more frequently, why I didn’t go for a timely checkup, why I have this dentist, and so on. General, well-known reactions, but neither self-blame nor blaming others will bring us closer to a solution. Such behavior is just a waste of time and energy. However, we need the energy to heal quickly…

Tooth extraction, and all other oral surgeries, will be as successful as possible if the patient is in excellent mental and health condition, prepared, not anxious, and confident that he or she is in the best hands! Conscious preparation for oral surgery equals a greater chance of painless intervention and optimal, rapid recovery!

Before the operation, it is recommended to participate in thorough, professional tartar removal, depuration, tooth cleaning, tooth polishing. With these precautions, you can maintain a healthy oral environment even after surgery, avoiding infection or possible inflammation of the operated area. Prevention is of the utmost importance to provide our body with the most effective healing possible after oral surgery.

PREPARATION IN THE NUTRITION

Can we eat before treatment? In fact, you have to eat! – Said the expert. If our blood sugar is low, we get more excited before and during the procedure. Furthermore, with treatments under the fasting stomach, our salivation will also be more abundant, making the work of the dentist more difficult. On the other hand, you shouldn’t eat for a while after oral surgeries, so we’d better not sit in the dentist’s chair wolf-hungry. It is not advisable to eat heavy, fatty foods, do not burden your body with digestion.

So, on the day of oral surgery, eat light, nutritious meals, but don’t go to the oral surgery with a full stomach. 1-2 hours before the procedure, drink plenty of fluids (preferably clean water). After the surgery, do not plan a huge feast, prepare so that your food is pasty, easy to chew, and if possible, do not contain dairy products for a few days.

TAKING MEDICINES BEFORE SURGERIES

If you regularly take more than one type of medication, such as heart medications, antipsychotics, and so on, your dentist may ask your physician for a consultation. Based on the consultation, your doctor or GP may recommend that you change your medication. Importantly, in this case, it may take a few days for doctors to consult and switch to new or temporary medications. Your surgeon will primarily recommend antibiotics and painkillers if you deem it necessary.

Many people do not know, but it is important that you do NOT take Aspirin for a few days before and after the procedure because the active substance in it is not good for blood clotting. Vitamin C, Multivitamin preparations can and should be taken regularly before and after the treatment, it has been proven that it helps with healing! If you are going to have more serious oral surgery, you may want to take a day off and rest at home after the surgery.

As we have seen in both the first and the second part of oral surgeries, we need consciously prepare and with that, we do a big favor for ourselves. For the prepared patient, the intervention becomes more tolerable and recovery is faster.

ORAL SURGERIES, WHAT TYPES HOW TO PREPARE (PART 1)

Types of oral surgeries, ways to prepare for them

Oral surgeries become necessary for two main reasons: in connection with preservative dentistry, and the other one is in the case of dentures fixed on implants. Surgical tooth extraction is performed when the tooth cannot be removed by a conventional procedure. Denture fixed on implants, more specifically the insertion of an implant, is also an oral surgery. In the following, we talk in more detail about the different types of oral surgeries and the conscious preparation for them.

ORAL SURGERIES RELATED TO PRESERVATIVE DENTISTRY

Sometimes some teeth do not or only partially break through the gums. Such a tooth can cause inflammation, or worse, cyst formation. It is therefore advisable to remove these teeth before causing inflammation in the surrounding tissues. Another typical case where the teeth have been damaged by caries and only the tooth root has been left, which cannot be removed in the traditional way. This kind of problem happens quite often, which is why regular dental check-ups are very important

One of the most common of oral surgeries is when a tooth needs to be removed surgically, a good example of which is wisdom tooth removal. It is also often the case that one of the teeth is unable to break through the gums for some reason. This may be due to lack of space or because, for example, the wisdom tooth is abnormally located in the jawbone. In both cases, the solution is oral surgery, ie surgical intervention to eliminate the problem.

The case when the teeth won't break through the gum is most common in the case of the wisdom tooth. Part of the crown protrudes, but the rest is still covered by mucous membranes. If this condition persists for a long time, it can be inflamed over time, become painful, and even in this case, oral surgery becomes necessary.

ORAL SURGERIES THAT RELATED TO DENTURE FIXED ON IMPLANTS

Another growing field of oral surgeries is dental implantations. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of a high-purity titanium alloy that can be a perfect replacement for a natural tooth root. There are two common implants and implantation methods: one is the conventional two-phase and the other is the single-phase, immediately loadable implant.

Implantation of traditional two-phase implants involves more serious surgery, as the insertion of the base part of the implant requires an incision of the gum to allow the implant to be implanted into the jaw bone. The incision wound should be sutured together, the wound itself should take 2-3 weeks to heal. The ossification of the implant takes a much longer time, about 4-5 months.

After this, the gum must be opened again to make the implants accessible and the rest of its elements the abutment and crown can be attached to the implant base.

There are three major disadvantages to a two-phase implant

• To get ready the denture takes a long time, up to 6 months,
• It requires more serious and multiple surgeries,
• It is not applicable in case of bone deficiency.
  
  The other solution for denture is using one-phase immediate loading implants. Unlike the two-phase implantation mentioned above, the single-phase, as the name implies, is done in a single phase, with a much simpler oral surgery. This method, for example, does not require an incision of the gums, because the implants are implanted through the gums in precisely defined places on the basis of the X-ray.

The three major benefits of an instant load implant are:

• Simple, invasive surgery, the gums do not need to be opened,
• The implants can be loaded immediately, this is why the denture completed very quickly, in less than 5 days,
• It can also be used for those who have few and/or poor-quality jawbone.

PREPARATION FOR ORAL SURGERIES

You need to be consciously prepared for a successful surgery. Tooth extraction or any tooth-related surgery (root tip resection, implant) is usually a simple, low-bleed, invasive procedure. Nevertheless, in our own interest, it is advisable to prepare thoroughly. If we choose conscious preparation instead of anxiety, self-blame, or fear without reason, we have a much better chance of quick and painless intervention as well as recovery.

Oral surgeries sometimes can be necessary, but they should be prepared for. With this, first and foremost we are doing ourselves a favor. In part 2., the topic is the same, more precisely how to prepare for that. What to do and what not to do, what is to our advantage, and what is that harmful to us.
