Oral Surgery
Oral surgery is the part of dentistry that includes the diagnosis and surgical treatment of particular problems of the oral cavity, such as for example: extraction of impacted teeth and root fragments, frenuloplasty, removal of small mouth and jaw tumors and cysts, as well as the kinds of interventions that sometimes need to be performed to prepare tissues to receive implants (pre-prosthetic surgery).
a) Extraction of impacted teeth and root fragments.
An impacted tooth is one that after the necessary passage of time has failed to erupt in its proper place in the jaw. The teeth that present this type of pathology are most frequently wisdom teeth (third molars) and canines (cuspids).

Frenectomy or frenuloplasty consists in the surgical removal of the frenulum of the upper or lower lip, the main reasons for the intervention being orthodontic or periodontal problems or speech difficulties.

A part of oral surgery includes the removal of cystic lesions within the jawbones (intraosseous cysts) and the soft tissue of the buccal cavity.
d) Tissue conditioning prior to rehabilitation (pre-prosthetic surgery).
Pre-prosthetic surgery is designed to prepare the oral hard tissue (bone) and soft tissue (gums) to allow the proper and durable placement of a dental prosthesis.
Generally speaking, this surgery seeks to restore prosthetic spaces lost through colonization by soft tissue following the loss of teeth (vestibuloplasty) or to remove lesions that prevent the correct insertion of the prostheses (exeresis of torus).
