Wisdom tooth extraction refers to the removal of wisdom teeth, and the process varies depending on the blockage of the wisdom teeth. For non-blocked wisdom teeth, it is sufficient to loosen and remove them, while blocked wisdom teeth need to be removed by removing the external resistance and then removing the roots.
1. Unobstructed wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth with normal growth direction are not subjected to any tissue resistance, and the extraction method is the same as that of conventional tooth extraction. After using dental tines to loosen the wisdom teeth under local anesthesia, the wisdom teeth will be dislocated with dental pliers, and the alveolar fossa will be scraped and sutured, and then gauze will be used to stop the bleeding.
2. Obstructed wisdom teeth. Obstructed wisdom teeth extraction is more difficult, depending on the situation under local anesthesia, incise the soft tissue, use the extraction drill to remove part of the bone or dental tissue, and then use a root-splitting dental pusher to split the root, and finally remove the tooth, and then scrape the alveolar fossa for suturing and hemostasis.
The process of removing wisdom teeth varies depending on the difficulty of the extraction, and requires radiographs and an examination of the oral cavity to confirm.
