Background and Aim: Medical grade calcium sulfate hemihydrate (MGCSH) is used as a bone graft material for socket preservation. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in bone width and height after tooth extraction and socket preservation with MGCSH using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: This study evaluated 17 systemically healthy patients over a 1-year period. Th...

Introduction: Dry Socket (DS) is a common post-surgical complication following extraction of permanent teeth. Various risk factors has been mentioned for this complication including gender, age, amount of trauma during extraction, difficulty of extraction, inappropriate irrigation, infection, smoking, and oral contraceptive use. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of DS among pe...

  Background and purpose: Conventionally, rotary devices were used for bone surgery. Recently, new techniques have been proposed such as piezosurgery. The prevalence of impacted teeth which should be removed is high. There are different techniques for bone removal that are associated with specific complications. This study compared the postoperative complications of impacted third molar extrac...

background and aims. wound dehiscence after lower third molar surgery extends the postoperative treatment period and may cause long-standing pain. the aim of this study was to compare wound dehiscence after removal of wisdom teeth in the most prevalent mandibular impaction (mesioangular class ib) by two different soft tissue flap designs. materials and methods. partially-erupted mandibular thir...

INTRODUCTION Impacted third molars are associated with various pathologies like cysts, tumors, dental caries and pericoronitis. Therefore, total extraction is the appropriate treatment in majority of these cases. However, the surgical procedure is not free of complications. Pain, infection, dry socket, nerve injury and disorders along with their complications are witnessed. Injury to Inferior A...
