Impacted teeth are teeth that have not erupted into the oral cavity within the expected time frame, but remain trapped within the bone or soft tissues.
They are most commonly wisdom teeth (third molars), but can also be canines, premolars, or retained supernumerary (extra) teeth.

Apicoectomy and cystectomy are oral surgical interventions used when conventional endodontic therapy (root canal treatment) cannot completely resolve an infection or pathological process at the tip of the tooth root.
An apicoectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing the tip of the tooth root (apex) along with the surrounding inflamed tissue.
This procedure is most commonly performed when:
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and includes an incision in the gums, removal of inflamed tissue, resection and removal of the root tip, retrograde filling of the canal (if necessary), and suturing of the wound. Recovery takes several days with standard postoperative care.
A cystectomy is the surgical removal of a cyst – a pathological cavity in the bone filled with fluid or semi-solid content, which arises as a result of long-term infection, trauma, or residual tooth tissue. These are most commonly periapical (radicular) cysts that form at the tip of a non-vital tooth.

Frenulectomy is a minor oral surgical procedure that removes or modifies the frenulum – a thin mucosal fold connecting the lips or tongue to surrounding structures in the oral cavity. In dentistry, it is most commonly performed on:
Soft tissue grafting in dentistry is a key procedure in periodontology and implantology aimed at restoring lost or damaged mucosa and gums. This intervention is used to improve the aesthetic appearance, function, and health of the gums, especially in cases of gum recession, around implants, or in preparation for prosthetic work.

Gingivectomy is a periodontal-surgical procedure that removes excess gingival (gum) tissue, most often for aesthetic or therapeutic reasons. This procedure is used to improve the appearance of the smile, accessibility of tooth structures, and to treat certain forms of periodontitis.
Gingivectomy is applied in the following cases:
The procedure can be performed for aesthetic reasons (e.g., gingival contouring) or as part of treatment to prevent periodontitis.
A gingivectomy is performed under local anesthesia and can be carried out in several ways:
During the procedure, excess soft tissue is removed, the gingival contour is shaped, providing a better aesthetic appearance and easier oral hygiene maintenance.
