2. Dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

   [16]: 211–232 Dental implants, in the same way, can also be used to retain a multiple tooth dental prosthesis either in the form of a fixed bridge or removable dentures. There is limited evidence that implant-supported single crowns perform better than tooth-supported fixed partial dentures (FPDs) on a long-term basis.

3. Root analogue dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_analogue_dental_implant

   In contrast to common titanium screw type implants, these implants are custom-made to exactly match the extraction socket of the specific patient. Thus there is usually no need for surgery. [2] As the root analogue dental implant matches the dental alveolus (tooth socket) it can only be placed immediately after the tooth extraction. If the ...

4. Tooth transplant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_transplant

   The classical tooth transplant technique involves the extraction of the donor tooth and preparation of the recipient site using the donor tooth as a template. [10] The use of surgical template has been proposed to minimise extra-alveolar time for the donor tooth. [ 10 ]

5. 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]

6. Toothache - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toothache

   Toothache may be caused by dental (odontogenic) conditions (such as those involving the dentin-pulp complex or periodontium), or by non-dental (non-odontogenic) conditions (such as maxillary sinusitis or angina pectoris). There are many possible non-dental causes, but the vast majority of toothache is dental in origin. [10]

7. Root canal treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_canal_treatment

   The root canal filling material (3, 4, and 10) does not extend to the end of the tooth roots (5, 6 and 11). The dark circles at the bottom of the tooth roots (7 and 8) indicated infection in the surrounding bone. Recommended treatment is either to redo the root canal therapy or extract the tooth and place dental implants.

8. Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw - Wikipedia

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

   After dental extractions: Duration: Variable: Types: Stage 1-Stage 3: Causes: Medications related to cancer therapy, and osteoporosis in combination with dental surgery: Risk factors: Duration of anti-resorptive or anti-angiogenic drugs, intravenous vs by-mouth: Diagnostic method: Exposed bone >8 weeks: Differential diagnosis: Osteomyelitis ...

9. Periodontal surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontal_surgery

   Crown lengthening is a technique for increasing crown height of teeth by flap surgery with or without bone surgery. [3] There are two main types: Aesthetic crown lengthening which is performed when a "gummy" smile is an issue for the patient [3] Functional crown lengthening is used to make an unrestorable tooth restorable.
