Most common intervention

Extraction of wisdom (wisdom teeth)
It is the most common intervention in oral surgery. Among the many indications for the removal of these parts include the lack of space in the jaw to correct his rash, abnormal orientation, which can cause damage to neighboring parts crowded together theet teeth, or problems with swelling in the gum by a rash incomplete, which may lead to chronic infection in the surrounding gum.

Complex extraction
Sometimes a tooth extraction can be complicated from the surgical point of view. For example if the patient suffers from significant systemic disease, has recently received radiotherapy or have clotting disorders, if the teeth are destroyed, and so on. In this case, the oral surgeon brings his surgical skill to solve the problem.

Surgery Preprosthetic
Are interventions that are performed prior to placement of a prosthesis. They consist in the conditioning of the gums or jaw bone or mandible to facilitate proper alignment of the prosthesis. We can also include in this type of surgery, the placement of bone grafts for the placement of posterior implants.

Surgery of braces
When children suffer from speech pathology, dental malpositions, or difficulty in the correct position of the teeth caused by the buccal or lingual braces, we need a little intervention. These surgeries are very short, with local anesthesia and solve problems that could have greater implications in adulthood.

Extraction of cysts and benign tumors
The cysts are located inside the jaw bone or mandible are quite common. Presents a very different etiology might result from latent infections in teeth in poor condition of teeth or bone in the embryonic structures. In these cases surgical intervention is essential for the extraction process, eliminating the discomfort and possible complications generated.
Within the oral cavity benign tumors can also occur as lipomas, fibromas or small angiomas. The treatment of these processes will make an excision of the lesion and a biopsy later by a pathologist to determine the extent of the injury.
