Dental Surgical Materials

Many dental practices perform oral surgical procedures such as extractions, grafts and placement of dental implants. Providing these services requires the practice to keep the appropriate Surgical Materials on hand and ready for use during the surgical procedures as well as following the procedures in order to promote healing. It is important to not only have all the proper materials on hand prior to stating any procedure, but also to make sure any materials with an expiration date are still good for use.

What Surgical Materials are available for my practice?

Many of the materials used during oral surgery are also used during other dental procedures, but there are a number of materials specifically suited for surgical use. Oral surgery procedures might require bone grafts, so grafting materials can be good to keep on hand. Other surgical materials include dental sutures, membranes, both resorbable and non-resorbable, as well as surgical dressings.

What should I consider when selecting surgical materials?

As with all dental materials it is important to obtain all surgical materials from a reliable source, and to store them properly according to the manufacturer recommendations. Other considerations should be based on the clinical requirements of the case at hand. All surgical procedures should be planned, with a properly outfitted armamentarium at hand for both treatment, post-op care, and in case of emergencies.
