Although the mouth represents a small and limited region of the human body, a large number of congenital and/or acquired pathological entities that require elective surgical treatment can be presented in it. Among the most common of those that are treated in our clinic we can mention the extraction of the included third molars (wisdom teeth), simple, complex and multiple dental extractions; placement of DENTAL IMPLANTS, phrenilectomies, apicectomies and periapical surgeries, excision and biopsy of minor oral lesions and dentigerous cysts; among others.

Usually all these procedures are performed under local anesthesia; however, they are occasionally executed in conjunction with an Anesthesiologist under CONSCIOUS SEDATION, especially in excessively nervous patients or with any physical or emotional commitment. Its objective is to get people into a state of tranquility and deep relaxation during the clinical act.

Although the purpose of the intervention may vary, the techniques used are always very similar; and involve, prior anesthesia, the gum incision, its detachment to a greater or lesser extent, the removal of pathological or excessive tissues, placement of implants or biocompatible grafts, and finally; the closure and suture of the wound. It will always be essential, for the final success of the procedure, that the operator knows in detail the specific function and clinical application of the numerous surgical instruments of DIERESIS, EXERESIS and SYNTHESIS.

Oral Surgery is science, art and skill, and although it is governed by the same principles of general surgery; it has its own peculiarities that emanate from the anatomical area to be treated. Not in vain, it is the oldest Specialty of Dentistry.
