I am searching for Oral Surgeons who practice this specific method for
extraction of wisdom teeth that are below the gum surface. I know for
a fact that this method was practiced about 15 years ago, and I want
to find Oral Surgeon who can perform that now. This method is: in
order to extract a wisdom teeth that are below the gum (I believe they
called ?impacted?), instead of usual surgery when gum is cut open and
tooth is pulled out, what is being done is: a small tube is inserted
into the gum towards the tooth, then ultrasound/laser is applied to
the tooth to destroy it into the powder state, then it is sucked out
of the gum via the tube. I am probably not describing the procedure in
the right medical terms, but knowledgeable specialists should
definitely recognize this procedure.
Some of the websites I have researched so far:
www.OralSurgery.com
www.1stwisdomteeth.com
www.CompleteDentist.com
www.MedHelps.com
www.LaserDentistry.org (Academy of Laser Dentistry)
www.AAOMS.org (American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons)
None of these websites were able to provide any information on the
above procedure, or where it can be done. The only thing that some of
them did confirm is that this procedure IS possible, given latest
technology innovations in Microsurgery.
What I am looking to receive from this posting is:
1)Name and contact information of the Oral Surgeon who practice above
method of impacted wisdom teeth extraction in New England/Northeast
area. (I live in Boston, MA)
Or, if this is not possible, at least the Correct Medical Term for the
above described procedure.
Thank you in advance for your help. |
