Surgical removal of eights and roots of teeth

Surgical removal of the figure eight is one of the most difficult dental surgery procedures. Teeth of wisdom – eights are a nuisance of many patients. Due to the evolutionary decrease in the size of the jaw in humans, a large number of patients lack enough space for proper teething and setting the eighth tooth in the mouth. This is the direct cause of many ailments such as:

• the teeth are pressed by the eight – this leads to the formation of bite defects and disturbances of smile aesthetics
• swelling of the gums and cheeks at the lower eights – in advanced cases can lead to haze and severe pain symptoms
• deep eight decay – caused by difficult brushing and purifying of the last stem teeth due to their incorrect setting in the tooth arch
• caries of adjacent teeth – is caused by the flood of food residues in the area of the adjacent tooth and difficulty in its thorough purification
• bone retention – retained eights can cause inflammation in the bone

The above complications are a strong indication to remove eights. Today, in an age of dynamic development of dentistry, we are able to carry out such a procedure completely painlessly and stress-free. Faqs:
