  2. Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis - Wikipedia

    It includes removal of a tooth from the patient or a donor. [2] After removal, a longitudinal lamina is cut from the tooth and a hole is drilled perpendicular to the lamina. The hole is then fitted with a cylindrical lens. The lamina is grown in the patients' cheek for a period of months and then is implanted upon the eye.

  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. Enucleation of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enucleation_of_the_eye

    Evisceration – removal of the iris, lens, and internal eye contents, but with the sclera and attached extraocular muscles left behind; Enucleation of the eye – removal of the eyeball, but with the eyelids and adjacent structures of the eye socket remaining. An intraocular tumor excision requires an enucleation, not an evisceration.

  5. Alveolar process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_process

    After extraction of a tooth, the clot in the alveolus fills in with immature bone, which later is remodeled into mature secondary bone. Disturbance of the blood clot can cause alveolar osteitis, commonly referred to as "dry socket". With the partial or total loss of teeth, the alveolar process undergoes resorption.

  6. Eye surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_surgery

    Eye surgery, also known as ophthalmic surgery or ocular surgery, is surgery performed on the eye or its adnexa. [1] Eye surgery is part of ophthalmology and is performed by an ophthalmologist or eye surgeon. The eye is a fragile organ, and requires due care before, during, and after a surgical procedure to minimize or prevent further damage.

    When the cornea dries out it may stick to the eyelid and cause an abrasion when the eye reopens. [11] Exposure keratitis. Chemical injury can occur if cleaning solutions such as povidone-iodine (Betadine), chlorhexidine or alcohol are inadvertently spilt into the eye, for example when the face, neck or shoulder is being prepped for surgery.

  8. 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 ]

  9. Dental alveolus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_alveolus

    Dental alveoli (singular alveolus) are sockets in the jaws in which the roots of teeth are held in the alveolar process with the periodontal ligament. The lay term for dental alveoli is tooth sockets. A joint that connects the roots of the teeth and the alveolus is called a gomphosis (plural gomphoses). Alveolar bone is the bone that surrounds ...
