Implant Surgery and Assistant Guide: An Approach towards Surgery and Assistant’s Understanding | Chapter 14 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1
The purpose of this study is to introduce the role of dental hygienists during implant surgery. The study's goal is to encourage high-quality implant surgical assistance in order to boost implant surgery success rates.
Background: Dental
hygienists are service providers with knowledge, skills, and a customer-focused
attitude. Dental hygienists examine and confirm the medical histories of
patients who visit the dental clinic, monitor their overall health, and take
immediate action if an infectious condition is discovered to cut off the
infection channel and prevent infection within the dental office.
Materials and
Methods: During the treatment of patient K, who visited Y Dental Department in
City G in January 2020, the authors introduce the implant surgery techniques.
Surgical procedures and precautions are listed, with a focus on the use of dental
hygienists during surgery. With illustrations and explanations, the tasks of a
surgical assistant, patient management during surgery, assistive roles in soft
tissue incision, retraction, bond preparation, and implant placement,
situations that focus on suctioning, and medical aid including sutures are all
introduced.
When offering
assistance, dental hygienists must retain accuracy, agility, and composure
beside the practitioner. Furthermore, the medical aid provided by dental
hygienists has an impact on the length of time necessary for surgery, the
occurrence of trauma during surgery, post-surgical edoema and pain, and
post-surgery infection, as well as the operation failure rate. A dental
hygienist's role in helping implant operations is critical. It is critical to
provide patient-centered care, and a dental hygienist must communicate with the
patient to preserve the patient's level of comfort and psychological stability.
Conclusion: The
medical aid provided by dental hygienists has an impact on the time needed for
surgery, the occurrence of trauma during surgery, post-surgical edoema and
pain, and post-surgery infection, as well as the operation failure rate.
