Frequently asked questions

  • I have actinic cheilitis but a standard scalpel removal and not a laser was suggested. What is best?

    The use of laser allows the removal of extensive areas in a bloodless manner and with an efficiency similar to a scalpel (see related section). In the case of standard scalpel surgery there are more profound complications such as paraesthesia, itching, intense scarring of the area and it is usually preferred as a treatment in recurring lesions.

  • Is there a difference between HSV-1 and HSV-2?

    Both strains belong to the herpes virus family. HSV-1 is mainly thought to be responsible for oral and ocular infections while HSV-2 causes genital infections. However it is possible that oral lesions are due to HSV-2, as a result of (most often) oral-genital contact. Of course regarding the natural history of the infection for a patient the type of strain does not have special significance.

  • Will the teeth affected by the damage be preserved?

    The teeth involved can be retained after endodontic treatment and most likely an apicoectomy (see related section) otherwise they will need to be extracted. The final treatment plan depends on the special conditions of each case.

  • Will the lost bone in the area where the cystic cavity had developed regenerate?

    After the removal of the lesion from the jaw bone, the body will achieve healing of the bone deficit, leading to the regeneration of the bone. Of course, the degree of replacement depends on the size of the empty gap. In cases of large cavities that exceed the dimensions defined by the significant defects, it will be necessary to place some bone regeneration material (see relevant section).
