  2. Implant failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implant_failure

    Implants, made of synthetic materials, are naturally coated by a biofilm by the body, which may function as a favorable medium for bacteria growth. Implant failure due to bacterial infection of the implant can occur at any point of implant lifetime. Bacteria may already reside on the implant or be introduced during the implantation.

  3. Dental implant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

    Alveolar bone resorption is a common side effect of tooth removal (extraction) due to severe tooth decay, trauma, or infection that limits dental implant placement. Surgical bone augmentation is associated with limitations such as high cost, bone graft rejection or failure, pain, infection, and the addition of 6–12 months to the treatment ...

  4. Tooth transplant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_transplant

    Ideally, extraction of the tooth from recipient site should be performed on the same day when donor tooth is removed for transplantation. [3] In cases when tooth from recipient site must be extracted earlier due to toothache or other reasons, transplantation should be scheduled within a month. [3]

  5. 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.

  6. Peri-implantitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peri-implantitis

    Due to the screw-shaped design and titanium surface modifications of the implants, mechanical debridement on the surface of the implant is ineffective in removing all adhering microorganisms. Therefore, to enhance the non-surgical treatment options of peri-implantitis, mechanical debridement can be used in combination with antiseptic ...

  7. Dental extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_extraction

    Typically the tooth is lifted using an elevator, and using dental forceps, specific tooth movements are performed (e.g. rocking the tooth back and forth) expanding the tooth socket. Once the periodontal ligament is broken and the supporting alveolar bone has been adequately widened the tooth can be removed.

  8. Odontogenic sinusitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odontogenic_sinusitis

    Similarly, dental procedures such as tooth extractions, implant placement, or root canal treatments, particularly if they involve the posterior maxillary teeth, can also cause this condition. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Microbiological studies have also determined that anaerobic bacteria are more frequently involved in odontogenic sinusitis cases than in ...

  9. Root canal treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_canal_treatment

    There are risks to forgoing treatment, including pain, infection and the possibility of worsening dental infection such that the tooth will become irreparable (root canal treatment will not be successful, often due to excessive loss of tooth structure). If extensive loss of tooth structure occurs, extraction may be the only option.
