Oral surgery and implantology

Dentists in oral surgery have specialised in surgical procedures in the area of the teeth, mouth and jaws. The usual route is several years of further training in dental surgery with a defined catalogue of operations. The most frequent procedures include implant placement, removal of wisdom teeth, apicoectomies, treatment after dental trauma and treatment of changes of the oral mucosa. Sinus surgery, sinus lift, tooth transplantation, salivary gland treatment and laser therapy are added to this. The professional association also lists general anaesthesia and sedation as well as treatment of high-risk patients as part of the spectrum. Dentists without the specialist title also work surgically.
