Septoplasty (Latin: saeptum, "septum" + Ancient Greek: πλάσσειν, romanized: plassein, "to shape"), or alternatively submucous septal resection and septal reconstruction, [1] is a corrective surgical procedure done to straighten a deviated nasal septum – the nasal septum being the partition between the two nasal cavities. [2]
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.

•St. Clair Thompson's long bladed nasal speculum-do-; long blades ( uses: in operations such as Submucous Resection of the nasal septum) •Killian's long bladed nasal speculum-do-; long blades and with handles; used more operations like SMR & Septoplasty. ( advantage: blade can be adjusted and fixed with screws, to avoid strain due to holding )
In 1685, Charles Allen wrote of tooth transplantation in the first English dental textbook, The Operator for the Teeth, and encouraged the replantation of teeth from animals as he considered it to be “inhumane” to source them from people. In 1890, Scheff J. Die highlighted the role of the periodontal ligament in long term prognosis of ...
Tooth abnormalities caused by environmental factors during tooth development have long-lasting effects. Enamel and dentin do not regenerate after they mineralize initially. Enamel hypoplasia is a condition in which the amount of enamel formed is inadequate. [59]
The permanent dentition begins when the last primary tooth is lost, usually at 11 to 12 years, and lasts for the rest of a person's life or until all of the teeth are lost . During this stage, third molars (also called " wisdom teeth ") are frequently extracted because of decay, pain or impactions.
Avoid exploration of the tooth socket with the tongue, a finger or toothbrush - otherwise this might disturb clot formation; Avoid rinsing mouth for 24 hours to prevent dislodging the blood clot. [2] After 24 hours has passed use warm salty mouthwashes especially after meals to keep the wound clean. [26]
Both regional block and infiltration techniques are considered the first choice injections for anaesthetising the mandibular teeth. Different techniques are chosen based on different factors: Patient age [5] Infiltration anaesthesia is a preferable method to anaesthetise deciduous/primary teeth in children.
