It is one of the biggest trends in oral and maxillofacial surgeries to ensure a positive and guaranteed result for the patient. A blood sample is taken in an effort to isolate platelets rich in fibrin. These are vital components of speed healing in biology, introduced at grafting, implantation and other procedures. PRF is used in a range of procedures thanks to its ability to accelerate healing, help reduce post operation pain and stimulate bone and soft tissue growth.
Bone Grafting
There are some cases where patients suffer from bone loss and recession in the jaw after teeth removal. Jaw begins to recede or resorb, leaving an area of thinned bone with less height. This case highly affects the success rate of other dental procedures such as placing implants or dentures and making it impossible to perform the treatment. Therefore, a procedure called bone grafting is done in order to restore the bone height and width in affected areas. Some bone grafting procedures are very simple and only require placing a bone grafting material, while other cases require transplanting bone from one area of the jawbone to the targeted area.
Sinus Lifting
The maxillary sinus is a hallow cavity in the skull situated above the roots of the upper molars. In some cases, excessive bone recession occurs in this area after extraction of the upper molars and the bone depth can recede to a thickness of just a few millimeters. If an implant was placed, it will protrude into the sinus, then the best solution would be performing a specialized bone grafting procedure called sinus lifting, which involves lifting the soft tissue of the sinus floor and bone graft beneath it, to create adequate depth to accommodate a dental implant.
Tooth extraction is performed by a dentist or oral surgeon. It is a relatively quick outpatient procedure done under local anesthesia. When a tooth is visible above the gum line and the dentist can easily remove it with the extraction tool; this is called simple extraction. Teeth broken below the surface, or impacted require more precise procedure as the dentist needs to remove gum tissue or bone in order to extract it. This is called surgical extraction, and requires stitches to close the site so that it can heal properly. The dentist may also prescribe a pain-killer following the procedure.

2. Topical swelling with or without a wound.
3. An oral oris lasts for more than three weeks.
4. Thickness in the lining of the mouth .
5. Suffering from numbness or loss of sensation in some parts of the mouth, face or neck.
So early diagnosis of pre-cancerous lesions and appropriate treatment of suspected symptoms would permanently.
prevent or mitigate the likelihood of these lesions becoming carcinoma in the blood. In “SMILING TOOTH” dental clinic, we provide state-of-the-art technology that helps detect oral cancer without the need for surgical specimens or tests or other examinations. The device relies on laser technology, which allows the doctor to see the oral tissue through impressed light bundles and glasses that identify suspicious spots if any.
