Frequently Asked Questions

Robotic Surgery is performed in the following manner: The patient is anaesthetized (General anaesthesia) and positioned appropriately on the operating table The Robot is positioned and the Surgeon with the help of his assistant places the Robotic ports into the Abdominal cavity(similar to Laparoscopy) and these are then attached to the Robot(Docking the Robot). The instruments are then placed through the ports and connected to the Robot. The Surgeon then sits at the Master Console and using the Robot completes the planned operation. The Surgeon’s operative view is a 3d stereoscopic HD with magnification. The Robot also eliminates any tremors. This allows for very accurate surgery. After the procedure is completed, the Robotic instruments are removed and the Robot is detached from the patient(Undocking the Robot). The Surgeon then completes the closure of the port sites(small cuts) and then the patient is brought out of Anaesthesia by the Anaesthetist.

Robotic Surgery has several advantages for the patient of which the following are most relevant; Improved Surgical accuracy due to 3D vision with Magnification. Enhanced ability to perform complex surgeries in challenging anatomical areas e.g Male pelvis, using Minimal Access Techniques. Lesser blood loss due to improved vision, smaller incisions, and the use of advanced energy sources. Decreased postoperative pain and quicker recovery.

Robotic Surgery is a Minimal Access Surgical technique where the Surgeon uses a Surgical Robot to perform the surgery. Surgery is performed under General Anaesthesia.

The Risks That Come from a Missing Tooth: Tooth-supported alveolar Bone Loss – Having a good strong, dense volume jaw bone helps keep your teeth and holds them in proper erupted position in the oral cavity. Whenever you bite your food, this helps stimulate and support natural teeth for mastication. When you have a missing tooth, this can trigger a bone loss in your jaw, Oral Health Issues– Oral health issues increase the risk of getting gum disease. And gum diseases are the primary cause of periodontal problems, promoting the mobility of the tooth, tooth loss, and alveolar bone loss. Risk for Teeth losing. Aesthetic issues– If you lose a tooth, shifting of the adjacent tooth towards space can occur. This leads to aesthetic issues for your smile. And it also creates issues for maintaining proper dental hygiene too. When your teeth crowd into one another, it becomes more difficult to do effective flossing. Mastication problems– As your teeth shift towards a missing tooth, this can lead to a change in the way they come together when chewing. An improper bite can promote bruxism, habitual grinding of your teeth, or a jaw disorder such as TMJ disorder. These issues can promote damage to the enamel of your teeth, tension headaches, tooth sensitivity, and more.

Time taken for the dental procedures may vary to the treatments. There is no need to feel nervous about attending a “dental checkup” appointment. If there are no issues, it should only take around 10 minutes or a little longer if there are any problems that need attention. A ‘TEETH CLEANING” can last between 20-30 minutes. During this time patient will lie back in a comfortable dental chair while we examine the teeth. Dentists will also remove dental plaque and tartar; patients with gum disease or gingivitis may need a. Lasersdeep scaling or root planning to remove plaque and bacteria growing under the gum line. This procedure usually takes two visits, one for each side of the mouth. A “RESTORATIVE PROCEDURE” may last for about 20 minutes. This is a procedure used to treat the decayed teeth. They prevent tooth decay from continuing to spread. In most cases, the method is relatively painless and straightforward. It is the most commonly performed procedure. However, the time taken can deviate based on the type of filling and size of the decayed area. The time you are in the dental chair for a “ROOT CANAL” varies according to several factors, including the severity of the infection and specific tooth. A simple root canal can take about 30 minutes if the tooth has one canal. But you should be prepared to spend more than 30 minutes in the dental chair for an RC appointment. Time is taken for ‘EXTRACTION’ generally takes about 20 minutes. This includes time for preoperative duties, extracting, and post-operative duties. But for IMPACTION, usually takes longer because the impacted tooth is usually positioned within the jaw bone or due to the angle towards the next tooth. This process takes longer than extraction. On average, it takes about 24 months to complete an “ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT” some patients require less than 12 months, but there are also patients requiring up to 3 years of treatment before their teeth reach the desired position. Orthodontics is not a one size fits all solution, and each patient's mouth is unique. So, several factors influence the amount of time you will need to wear dental braces. Time is taken for “PEDIATRIC PROCEDURE” is usually longer. Pediatric dentistry focuses on children from birth through adolescence. One of the most components of pediatric dentistry is child psychology. Dental phobias beginning in childhood often continue into adulthood, so children must have a positive experience. Typically, procedures may take longer and vary if there are any behavioral issues with the child.

Sleep dentistry is also referred to as “sedation dentistry". Many people are so phobic about going to the dentist that they prefer not to have any treatment. For people who avoid dentists because of fear, sleep dentistry may take away some of their anxiety. Sedation can be used for everything from invasive procedures to simple tooth cleaning. How its used depends on the severity of the fear Sleep dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. Patients are usually awake, except those who are under general anaesthesia. It is appropriate for people who have a low pain threshold, have a terrible gag reflex, have susceptible teeth, and can’t sit still in the dental chair. There are different degrees of medication administration; the levels are chosen according to the needs of the procedure. THE LEVELS OF SEDATION INCLUDE: MINIMAL SEDATION: The patient will be awake but relaxed MODERATE SEDATION: The patient may slur words and not remember much of the procedure DEEP SEDATION: The patient will be on the edge of consciousness but can still be awakened GENERAL ANESTHESIA: The patient will be completely unconscious.
