  2. Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medication-related_osteo...

    Current recommendations are for a 2-month drug holiday prior to dental surgery for those who are at risk (intravenous drug therapy, greater than 4 years of by-mouth drug therapy, other factors that increase risk such as steroid therapy). [7] It usually develops after dental treatments involving exposure of bone or trauma, but may arise ...

  3. Alveoloplasty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveoloplasty

    In addition, secondary alveoloplasty sometimes occurs after the initial procedure to eliminate any gross bone irregularities. [ 18 ] A full thickness flap is usually elevated to a point apical to the desired area to be contoured, and according to the amount of bone needed to be removed, a bone file, or a bone rongeur , or a burr under copious ...

  4. Socket preservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_Preservation

    Socket preservation or alveolar ridge preservation is a procedure to reduce bone loss after tooth extraction. [1] [2] After tooth extraction, the jaw bone has a natural tendency to become narrow, and lose its original shape because the bone quickly resorbs, resulting in 30–60% loss in bone volume in the first six months. [3]

  5. Osteonecrosis of the jaw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteonecrosis_of_the_jaw

    Spontaneous exposure of necrotic bone tissue through the oral soft tissues or following non-healing bone exposure after routine dental surgery, characteristics of this form of ONJ, may be the result of late diagnosis of a disease process that has been masked by the oversuppression of osteoclastic activity, allowing pre-existing factors to ...

  6. Dental extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_extraction

    Socket preservation or alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) [32] is a procedure to reduce bone loss after tooth extraction to preserve the dental alveolus (tooth socket) in the alveolar bone. At the time of extraction a platelet rich fibrin (PRF) [ 33 ] membrane containing bone growth enhancing elements is placed in the wound or a graft material ...

  7. Guided bone and tissue regeneration (dentistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guided_bone_and_tissue...

    At present, guided bone regeneration is predominantly applied in the oral cavity to support new hard tissue growth on an alveolar ridge to allow stable placement of dental implants. When bone grafting is used in conjunction with sound surgical technique, guided bone regeneration is a reliable and validated procedure.

  8. Alveolar osteitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_osteitis

    The most common location of dry socket: in the socket of an extracted mandibular third molar (wisdom tooth). Since alveolar osteitis is not primarily an infection, there is not usually any pyrexia (fever) or cervical lymphadenitis (swollen glands in the neck), and only minimal edema (swelling) and erythema (redness) is present in the soft tissues surrounding the socket.

  9. Crown lengthening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_lengthening

    Removing bone for a crown lengthening procedure will effectively decrease the bony support available for surrounding teeth and unfavorably increase the crown-to-root ratio. Additionally, once alveolar bone is removed, it is almost impossible to restore it to previous levels. This has implications for a patient's future treatment options.
