Guideline on Pediatric Oral Surgery

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) intends this guideline to define, describe clinical presentation, and set forth general criteria and therapeutic goals for common pediatric oral surgery procedures that have been presented in considerably more detail in textbooks and the dental/medical literature.

Preoperative evaluation

Medical : Important considerations in treating a pediatric patient include obtaining a thorough medical history, obtaining appropriate medical and dental consultations, anticipating and preventing emergency situations, and being prepared to treat emergency situations.

Advertisement

Dental : It is important to perform a thorough clinical and radiographic preoperative evaluation of the dentition as well as extraoral and intraoral soft tissues.

Radiographs can include intraoral films and extraoral imaging if the area of interest extends beyond the dentoalveolar complex.

Behavioral considerations Behavioral guidance of children in the operative and perioperative periods presents a special challenge. Many children benefit from modalities beyond local anesthesia and nitrous oxide/oxygen inhalation to control their anxiety.

Management of children under sedation or general anesthesia requires extensive training and expertise. Special attention should be given to the assessment of the social, emotional, and psychological status of the pediatric patient prior to surgery.

Tooth Extraction Aftercare Tips

A dental extraction is a dental procedure that is responsible for removing a tooth affected by advanced caries that has no solution or by an irreparable fracture.

Before extracting a tooth, the dental surgeon must instruct the patient on pre and post operative care. These recommendations are intended to protect the wound and the healing process.

Wisdom teeth and orthodontics: Are they related?

Wisdom teeth erupt between 18 and 25 years of age, generating a series of problems the moment they appear. So it is important to visit your dentist to be evaluated.

The extraction of the wisdom teeth avoids the consequences of their eruption, and these can be: pain, trismus, inflammation, cysts, bad breath and crowded teeth.


In the vast majority of cases it is recommended to be removed preventively and prophylactically. In case the patient wants to start an orthodontic treatment, it is important to extract them so that the treatment is not damaged.

An abscessed tooth is a collection of pus that forms in different areas of the teeth. For example, there are periodontal, periapical and gingival abscesses.

Abscesses must be treated in time, because they can become very dangerous to your health. The patient will report pain when chewing, swelling of the gums, loose teeth, bad breath, bad taste in the mouth, etc.


A fracture of a tooth, a caries infection, or a periodontal disease are the causes of the appearance of an abscess. We share an interesting 3D video about dental abscesses.
