Alveolectomy - PerioDent - Center for Periodontology

Alvelotomy is a surgical procedure that is applied when extracted (immature) teeth are extracted, most often wisdom teeth. It involves the removal of part of the bone around the tooth - the alveoli. This reveals the tooth in the depth of the jawbone. So, it is the removal of a part of the bone above the unerupted tooth and after the removal of that part of the bone - the tooth can be extracted with the use of other instruments.
