Surgical wisdom teeth extractions

If wisdom teeth are completely or partly impacted or their relationship to adjacent structures such as the inferior alveolar nerve cannot be clearly evaluated with panoramic imaging, further diagnostic measures or the referral to an oral surgeon is often recommended.

Periodontal health is a conditio sine qua non, a prerequisite of successful tooth restauration.
