Root tip resection and retrograde filling of the root canal

These procedures are most commonly performed when infection in the root of the tooth can’t be suppressed by means of nonsurgical (orthograde) treatment.

In such cases, inflammation and cysts can occur in the jawbone surrounding the root tip and require surgical removal. At the same time, a resection (separation and extraction) is typically performed on the root tip, which is the most abundant source of
bacteria. The root canal is then retrogradely (from the end up) filled with a special material called MTA. Teeth treated in this manner often remain fully
functional for years to come.

Cyst removal

The most common type of cyst occurs at the apex of the root of a tooth and is caused by infection in an untreated or insufficiently treated root canal. Prior to removal of such a cyst, the tooth must be treated endodontically.

Another common type of cyst is a follicular cyst, which is most frequently associated with a partially erupted wisdom tooth. A follicular cyst is removed together with the
wisdom tooth. Untreated cysts grow larger over time, can push dental roots apart, and weaken the jaw, making it prone to fracturing. Because cysts can become infected and, in rare cases, can even experience malignant transformation, they must be removed.

Tooth autotransplantation

In this procedure, the dentist transplants one of the patient’s own teeth (most commonly a wisdom tooth) to a location in the mouth where a tooth is either already missing or has been extracted just prior to the transplantation.

In some cases, a tooth transplanted in this manner can fully substitute the missing tooth, thus eliminating the need for a dental implant. Approximately two weeks after
the procedure, the autotransplanted tooth is treated endodontically and fitted with a prosthetic crown.

Corrective jaw surgery prior to dental prosthetic treatment

Corrective surgery of bone and surrounding soft tissues is performed to give dental prosthetics greater stability and retention while significantly improving their functionality.

We offer this procedure because there are many things in life that can lead to considerably irregular loss (atrophy) of jaw bone. Removable dental prostheses cause painful pressure sores and don’t always stay in place, often coming loose when the
wearer is chewing or making mimical facial movements.

Removal of minor growths from the oral cavity and lips

We remove a wide variety of both nontumourous and tumourous (benign only) growths from the gums, oral mucosa, and lips.

Trauma surgery

We use modern methods to treat all types of injuries to the teeth, oral cavity, and the alveolar bones.
