During intraseptal alveoloplasty, the alveolar
process (the bony part of the gum containing the teeth) is reconstructed. The
intraseptal bone is removed and the labial cortical bone is repositioned. This
procedure can be performed at the same time as a tooth removal.

the jaw bone
Conditions
Treated with Intraseptal Alveoloplasty:
Intraseptal alveoloplasty may be performed in cases
of an uneven alveolar process after tooth extraction. It can also be performed
to prepare the alveolar bone prior to a prosthetic implantation.
There are no comparable non-surgical or surgical
alternatives to intraseptal alveoloplasty.
Anesthesia
with Intraseptal Alveoloplasty:
Intraseptal alveoloplasty is performed with a local
anesthetic.
Potential
Complications from Intraseptal Alveoloplasty:
Possible risks following intraseptal alveoloplasty
include infection, bleeding, swelling and a negative reaction to the
anesthesia. It is also possible for the area to heal poorly.
Prognosis
after Intraseptal Alveoloplasty:
The prognosis for a positive end result following
intraseptal alveoloplasty is good.
Recovery
from Intraseptal Alveoloplasty:
Total recovery from
intraseptal alveoloplasty takes two to three weeks.
