Socket preservation, also known as alveolar ridge preservation, is a crucial dental procedure aiming to minimize the resorption of the alveolar ridge following tooth extraction. The use of bone ...

Impacted teeth fail to erupt within the expected developmental window and are often blocked by gum tissue or bone. Maxillary cuspids (canines) possess the longest roots and are critical for proper ...

OBJECTIVE: To compare, through computed tomography, alveolar bone thickness changes at the maxillary incisors area during orthodontic treatment with and without tooth extraction. METHODS: Twelve ...

Articaine given only by buccal infiltration may not be as effective as lidocaine with standard infiltration and palatal injection for molar extractions. The study was recently published in the Journal ...

- Rinsing with chlorhexidine mouthwash before a dental extraction or beginning 24 hours after may help to prevent a dry socket. - Placing a chlorhexidine gel directly into the socket immediately after ...

INTRODUCTION: Patients with dental Class II bialveolar protrusion are generally treated by extracting the four first premolars or two first and two second premolars, and retracting the anterior teeth.

During tooth extraction recovery, people must maintain the blood clot that forms in the tooth socket. Aftercare may involve rest, cold compresses, and over-the-counter (OTC) pain relief medication.

In total, 18 female, 8-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 9) and the control group (n = 9). To establish MRONJ in the right maxillary first molar area ...

Our systematic review included eleven articles that fulfilled our inclusion criteria. These papers discussed several dental and skeletal consequences related to early extraction of compromised FPM. A ...
