  • COHG Prioritisation Exercises 2011-14

    COHG Prioritisation Exercises 2011-14

    COHG Prioritisation Exercises 2011-14 Cochrane Oral Health Group has undertaken an extensive prioritisation exercise to identify a core portfolio of the most clinically important titles to maintain. COHG defined 8 areas of dentistry, fit 234 existing titles within the scope of those areas, and subsequently contacted all authors of Cochrane titles relevant to these areas for their opinion of which they felt to be most important. After analysis of the authors’ rankings, lists of the titles our authors thought to be most important were ratified and discussed by panels of experts in August 2014 for each of 6 remaining areas of dentistry (periodontology, dental public health, oral medicine, oral and maxillofacial surgery, cleft lip/palate, and operative and prosthodontic dentistry), with orthodontics (January 2011) and paediatrics (February 2013) having been undertaken in previous years using the same methodology. For some topic areas, in addition to prioritising existing titles, expert panels also identified new titles of clinical importance considered to be currently missing on The Cochrane Library. The resulting list of priority titles will be subject to revision periodically (as the evidence-base in oral health grows over subsequent years), to ensure that COHG’s editorial resource continues to be invested in the most clinically important reviews. Each dental area’s panel was comprised of members considered to be internationally-renowned experts within their field, and who are currently active in clinical practice and/or research. For the August 2014 cluster of dental areas, each panel also included membership from IADR’s Global Oral Health Inequalities network to assist in ensuring that global burden of oral health conditions/disease was considered fully when discussing how each area’s research ought to be prioritised.

  • Third Molar (Wisdom) Teeth

    Third Molar (Wisdom) Teeth

    Third molar (wisdom) teeth This information leaflet is for patients who may need to have their third molar (wisdom) teeth removed. It explains why they may need to be removed, what is involved and any risks or complications that there may be. Please take the opportunity to read this leaflet before seeing the surgeon for consultation. The surgeon will explain what treatment is required for you and how these issues may affect you. They will also answer any of your questions. What are wisdom teeth? Third molar (wisdom) teeth are the last teeth to erupt into the mouth. People will normally develop four wisdom teeth: two on each side of the mouth, one on the bottom jaw and one on the top jaw. These would normally erupt between the ages of 18-24 years. Some people can develop less than four wisdom teeth and, occasionally, others can develop more than four. A wisdom tooth can fail to erupt properly into the mouth and can become stuck, either under the gum, or as it pushes through the gum – this is referred to as an impacted wisdom tooth. Sometimes the wisdom tooth will not become impacted and will erupt and function normally. Both impacted and non-impacted wisdom teeth can cause problems for people. Some of these problems can cause symptoms such as pain & swelling, however other wisdom teeth may have no symptoms at all but will still cause problems in the mouth. People often develop problems soon after their wisdom teeth erupt but others may not cause problems until later on in life.

  • WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL Your Wisdom Teeth Removal Evaluation

    WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL Your Wisdom Teeth Removal Evaluation

    WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL Your Wisdom Teeth Removal Evaluation Before suggesting that you may have your wisdom teeth removed, your dentist will do a thorough examination. This may include an exam, dental x-rays and a CT scan of your teeth and jaws. Impacted Wisdom Teeth Impacted wisdom teeth can grow in almost any direction. They may grow in straight or at an angle. Even if they grow in straight, there may not be enough room in the jaw to allow them to fully erupt. Wisdom teeth Dental X-rays X-ray images can show the positions of teeth that haven’t fully erupted. They can also show decay and other problems, such as bone loss. This helps plan your treatment. Three kinds of dental x-rays are used: CT Scan x-rays show a 3D image of the jawbone and tooth position. These can also show how close the roots of your wisdom teeth are to nerves, arteries, and other structures in or near the jaws Intraoral x-rays show small images of 3 to 6 teeth at a time, plus a portion of the jawbone. These x-rays are often taken as part of a dental checkup. Panoramic x-rays show a complete image of all the teeth and both jaws. These can tell your dentist more about the health of your jawbones. Preparing for Wisdom Teeth Surgery Your dentist would tell you how long the surgery is likely to take. Including recovery from anesthesia, it may last between 45 minutes and 2 hours. Before surgery, be sure to: Arrange time off from work or school.

  • Alternatives to Wisdom Teeth Extraction

    Alternatives to Wisdom Teeth Extraction

    Alternatives to Wisdom Teeth Extraction For your dental health. What are your choices for treating wisdom teeth? When you're thinking about how to deal with your wisdom teeth, you have two options: • Keep them • Remove them A few lucky people are able to keep their wisdom teeth, use them, and take proper care of them. In most cases, though, keeping wisdom teeth isn't possible, and wisdom teeth have to be removed. In these cases, delaying removal can cause serious problems. Why remove wisdom teeth? An impacted wisdom tooth is one that hasn’t come in or has come in only partially. Sometimes an impacted wisdom tooth can become infected. This can be excruciatingly painful. This is a common dental emergency and can cause pain for days, even after antibiotics are started, and can even be life threatening. An impacted wisdom tooth may push on other teeth. A misaligned wisdom tooth can also cause cavities in the tooth next to it because the area where they touch can’t be kept free of bacteria and plaque. Impacted wisdom tooth Wisdom teeth are nearly impossible to keep free of plaque, even when the rest of the teeth are completely free of plaque. In addition to cavities, plaque also causes periodontal disease, which may start near the wisdom teeth and spread throughout the mouth. Sometimes cysts form around impacted wisdom teeth, and cysts can destroy a tremendous amount of bone before they're noticed and sometimes require surgery to repair. With time, the roots of wisdom teeth may grow around a nerve in the jaw, which can then be damaged during extraction.

    Wisdom Teeth (Third Molars) Removal

    A guide for patients and carers about wisdom teeth (third molars) removal This information is for patients who may need to have their wisdom (third molar) teeth removed. It explains why they may need to be removed, what’s involved and any risks or complications. Please take the opportunity to read this leaflet before your consultation. The surgeon will explain the condition after your assessment, and what treatment options are available and how these may affect you. They will also answer any questions. What are wisdom teeth? Wisdom teeth are also called third molar teeth and are the last teeth to erupt into the mouth. Four wisdom teeth usually develop between the ages of 18 and 24; two on each side of the mouth; one on the bottom jaw and one on the top jaw. Some people develop fewer wisdom teeth and occasionally, more than four develop. A wisdom tooth can become stuck if it fails to erupt properly into the mouth. This can be under the gum or as it pushes through the gum. This is referred to as an impacted wisdom tooth. Both impacted and non- impacted wisdom teeth can cause problems, some of which cause symptoms such as pain and swelling. However, there may be no symptoms at all, but the tooth will still cause problems in the mouth. Mouth problems or symptoms can be present as soon as the tooth erupts or cause no issues until later on in life. What problems can wisdom teeth cause? Wisdom teeth are at the back of the mouth and can be difficult to clean.
