Surgery and Anaesthesia

Dental Surgery

Dental surgery encompasses a variety of procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and jaw. Common procedures include tooth extractions, root canals, and the placement of dental implants. Oral and maxillofacial surgery, a specialized branch, addresses more complex issues such as jaw alignment, facial trauma, and congenital abnormalities. Advances in technology, such as 3D imaging and laser surgery, have improved precision and patient outcomes. Anesthesia plays a crucial role, with options ranging from local to general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort during procedures. Postoperative care and pain management are essential components, as proper recovery contributes to successful outcomes. Overall, dental surgery is vital for maintaining oral health and improving quality of life.
