Disimpaction, commonly known as wisdom tooth removal, is a surgical procedure to extract impacted or problematic third molars.
Wisdom teeth often lack sufficient space in the jaw, leading to impaction, which can cause pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.
The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
X-rays are used to assess the position and condition of the wisdom teeth before planning the extraction.
Surgical techniques may vary depending on the position of the impacted tooth and the complexity of the extraction.
Complications such as dry socket, nerve damage, and infection are possible but can be minimized with proper post-operative care.
Recovery usually involves mild discomfort and swelling, which can be managed with pain medication and ice packs.
