2. Dental extraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_extraction

   Alveolar osteitis of a socket after tooth extraction. Note lack of blood clot in socket and exposed alveolar bone. Dry-socket (Alveolar osteitis) is a painful phenomenon that most commonly occurs a few days after the removal of mandibular (lower) wisdom teeth. It typically occurs when the blood clot within the healing tooth extraction site is ...

3. 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.

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] Bone loss, can ...

5. Impacted wisdom teeth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impacted_wisdom_teeth

   Further, several studies have found that between 30% – 60% of people with previously asymptomatic impacted wisdom teeth will have them extracted due to symptoms or disease, 4–12 years after initial examination. [4] Extraction of the wisdom teeth removes the disease on the wisdom tooth itself and also appears to improve the periodontal ...

6. Toothache - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toothache

   After the acute episode has been controlled, the definitive treatment is usually by tooth extraction or, less commonly, the soft tissue is removed (operculectomy). If the tooth is kept, good oral hygiene is required to keep the area free of debris to prevent recurrence of the infection. [21]: 440–441

7. 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] The later donor tooth will be transplanted, the ...
