One also speaks of an autogenous tooth transposition or tooth transplantation, if one transplants (transfers) an autogenous (originated from the body itself) (synonym: autologous = transplantation: donor and recipient are the same/patient’s own) tooth through a surgical procedure to the place of a recently extracted (removed) tooth. If the tooth has not yet completed root … Tooth Transplantation of Wisdom Teeth
Sometimes permanent canines lie retained (do not erupt) and displaced in the jawbone. The result is a gap in the dental arch when the deciduous canine tooth is lost. In this case, the surgical technique of tooth transposition (synonym: tooth transplantation) can be applied. In this case, an autogenous (originated from the body itself) (synonym: … Tooth Transposition of Displaced Canines
An apicoectomy (WSR) (synonyms: amputatio radicis dentis; apectomy; apical osteotomy; surgical root filling; radical surgery of apical periodontitis (inflammation of the periodontium (tooth-supporting apparatus) just below the root of the tooth; apical = “tooth rootward”); root tip amputation) is a surgical procedure in which the root tip of a previously root-treated tooth and the inflamed … Root Tip Resection
In autologous fat grafting (synonyms: Fat Autografting Muscle Injection/Facial Autograft Muscle Injection (FAMI), Autologous Fat Grafting) is a plastic or cosmetic surgery procedure in which fat tissue is removed from one area of the body and transplanted to another area of the body. Due to the multiple body parts on which autologous fat transplantation can … Fat Autografting Muscle Injection: Autologous Fat Grafting
As a result of natural aging of the skin, more wrinkles form on the face and neck. The skin loses elasticity, the muscles become flabby and excess skin appears.This is quite natural, yet many people feel younger than their skin makes them appear. A facelift (synonym: face lift) usually leaves the eye and forehead area … Face Lift
Guided tissue regeneration (synonyms: guided tissue regeneration, GTR, regenerative therapy) is used to describe procedures that aim to restore periodontal (tooth-supporting) structures lost in intrabony (“inside the bone”) defects that have been degraded by inflammatory processes (chronic inflammation) that have occurred previously. In the course of periodontitis (inflammation of the periodontium), it is not only … Guided Tissue Regeneration: Guided Tissue Regeneration
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a procedure that uses barrier membranes to harness the regenerative capacity of the patient’s own bone to rebuild lost alveolar bone (jawbone), thereby enabling the placement of an implant (an artificial tooth root). Bone defects occur after tooth extractions (removal of a tooth without further surgical measures) and due to … Guided Bone Regeneration
A consequence of aging is sagging of the skin and neck tissues. In any case, a double chin looks unsightly, makes the face look old, fat and sickly. Likewise, it is possible that fat accumulation is the cause of a double chin. A neck lift can greatly improve the appearance. The neck lift (synonym: face-neck … Neck Lift
Laser blepharoplasty is a gentle, cosmetic eyelid lift performed using a carbon dioxide laser (pulsed CO2 laser) or an erbium laser. The treatment can be performed both in the area of the upper eyelids (e.g. for drooping eyelids) and in the area of the lower eyelids (e.g. for bags under the eyes). The procedure can … Eyelid Lift by Laser (Laser Blepharoplasty)
Preprosthetic surgery is the surgical improvement of the denture bed in the upper and/or lower jaw. Due to tooth loss and lack of loading on the alveolar bone (jawbone), atrophy (recession) of the bone occurs. Often, the mobile mucosa reaches close to the alveolar ridge. As a result, the retention of dentures is often unsatisfactory, … Preprosthetic Surgery
