Enucleation is a surgical procedure performed to remove a lesion or tumor from the jawbone or oral cavity. It’s a delicate procedure that requires precision and expertise to ensure the complete removal of the lesion while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. At Smile Vizag Dental Clinic, our skilled oral surgeons are dedicated to providing exceptional enucleation services with a focus on patient comfort and safety.
Understanding Enucleation
Enucleation involves the careful removal of abnormal tissue, such as cysts, tumors, or benign growths, from the jawbone or oral cavity. The goal is to eliminate the lesion completely to prevent recurrence and preserve oral function and aesthetics. Enucleation may be performed using traditional surgical techniques or with the assistance of advanced technologies like laser surgery, depending on the nature and location of the lesion.
Indications for Enucleation
- Cyst Removal: Enucleation is commonly performed to remove cysts, which are fluid-filled sacs that can develop in the jawbone or soft tissues of the mouth.
- Tumor Excision: Enucleation may be indicated for the removal of benign or malignant tumors affecting the oral cavity or jawbone.
- Pathological Lesions: Enucleation is used to address various pathological lesions, including granulomas, fibromas, and odontogenic tumors.
- Aesthetic Concerns: Enucleation may be recommended to improve the appearance of the jawbone or oral cavity affected by a visible lesion.
