Dental surgery is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals with diagnosis, treatment and prevention of oral diseases and conditions with the help of surgical interventions. This branch of dentistry includes a wide range of procedures, from routine to complex operations, which are vital to maintaining the oral health of patients.

Types of dental surgery:

1. Tooth extraction: removal of a tooth that has been severely damaged by caries, infection or injury. This may include the extraction of wisdom teeth which often cause problems.

2. Jaw surgery: this procedure is used to correct problems with the jaw, such as irregularities in the bite or orthodontic problems.

3. Implantology: ugradnja dentalnih implantata kao trajnog rešenja za gubitak zuba. Ova procedura zahteva postavljanje titanijumskog šrafa u vilicu koja će poslužiti kao osnova za veštački zub.

4. Periodontal surgery: hirurške intervencije usmerene na lečenje bolesti desni. To može uključivati zahvate za obnavljanje tkiva desni ili kostiju oko zuba.
