Dento-alveolar surgery is a complex branch of dentistry aimed at treating problems of the teeth, gums, jaw and other bony and soft components of the oro-maxillo-facial apparatus.
The scope of dentoalveolar surgery encompasses a wide range, from simple tooth extractions, extraction of impacted teeth, and surgical treatment of dental impaction to the surgical treatment of maxillofacial infections, surgical restoration of bone defects in the alveolar bone, gingivectomy, gingivoplasty, as well as preprosthetic and reconstructive surgical interventions.
