Wisdom tooth removal and method of Implant Placement

Oral Malodor post Wisdom Tooth removal

Wisdom tooth removal always have issues with it. What about the foul smell associated post removal? There is an article published on this in triple O March 2008 issue by Hidayet etal. This study assessed the effects of 4 types of widely used commercial mouth rinses on third molar surgery–related oral malodor.
Bad breath parameters systematically increased (P < .05) in all groups after third molar surgery on the third and eighth days. The Pvp and Ss groups showed higher scores when volatile sulfur compounds were considered. Results from the 3 different methods showed that Chx and Chx+Bzd (benzydamine hydrochloride) mouth rinses are more effective mouth rinses than the others on third molar surgery–related oral malodor.

Dental Tourism Survey

The world's first Dental Tourism survey, carried out by RevaHealth.com, reveals high levels of satisfaction among the thousands of dental tourists questioned. Patients who had travelled abroad to receive treatment revealed an average satisfaction rating of 84%, along with an average cost saving of $6,400, or 60% of the cost of their treatment locally.

More than 95% of respondents stated that cost was the main reason why they considered Dental Tourism in the first place, but when it came to choosing which clinic to visit, quality was the deciding factor.

The results indicate that when implants are placed using a mini-flap procedure, the mini-flap procedure may increase the success rate.

Study design

A total of 286 implants were placed in 129 patients: 142 implants were placed in 58 patients by using a conventional flap procedure, and 144 implants were placed in 71 patients by using a mini-flap procedure. The 2 groups were evaluated radiographically for postoperative changes in the crestal bone level from the time of placement to the time of exposure (3 to 4 months later).

Results

The mean crestal bone loss was 0.26 mm in the flap group and 0.20 mm in the mini-flap group (P > .05). The success rate was 96.5% in the flap group and 100% in the mini-flap group (P < .05).
