Oral SurgeryPericoronitis is an inflammation of the soft tissue surrounding the crown of an incompletely erupted tooth, commonly seen around the third molars (wisdom teeth) but can also occur with other teeth. The condition arises when food particles, bacteria, and plaque accumulate around the partially erupted molar, leading to localized infection.
Thus, pericoronitis is most commonly associated with teeth that are not fully erupted

Le Fort I fracture involves the maxilla and typically
includes the upper teeth and palate, lower portions of the pterygoid
processes, and the nasal spine. However, it does not involve the bridge of
the nose, which is part of the facial skeleton above the maxilla.

Oral Surgery
The Gillies approach is a surgical technique used in facial reconstruction, particularly for the repair of facial defects. The superficial temporal artery is of significant anatomical importance during this procedure, as it supplies blood to the scalp and face. Surgeons must be cautious to avoid damaging this artery during the approach.

Oral SurgeryTorus palatinus reduction involves removing a bony prominence from the palate. Acrylic splints provide stabilization, protect the surgical site, and prevent hematoma formation. Other conditions like mandibular alveoplasty do not require splints for similar reasons.

Oral SurgeryFeeling of numbness in the posterior palate. An anterior palatine nerve block
typically anesthetizes the palatal mucosa and soft tissues anterior to the
second premolars, including the palatal mucosa of the incisor and canine areas.
The numbness felt in the posterior palate is usually due to diffusion of the
anesthetic solution to the adjacent greater palatine nerve, which innervates the
palatal mucosa in the molar area.
