A cavitation is an area of unhealed bone socket in the jaw, often resulting from trauma or incomplete healing after tooth extractions. These lesions frequently go undetected with standard dental X-rays, which can delay diagnosis and treatment, potentially compromising both oral and systemic health.
At The Dental Family Beaumaris, we utilise advanced diagnostic imaging to accurately identify cavitations at an early stage. Our experienced team employs minimally invasive surgical techniques to effectively remove infected tissue while supporting natural bone regeneration and healing.
Treatment of jaw cavitations at our clinic utilises cutting-edge regenerative approaches to promote faster healing,
reduce pain, and restore bone integrity.
Concentrated Growth Factors (CGF)
CGF is an innovative autologous stem cell grafting technique derived from your own blood. This natural biomaterial is rich in growth factors that stimulate tissue repair, effectively accelerating wound healing and diminishing inflammation and discomfort.
Bone Ceramic Grafting
We use synthetic bone ceramic as a biocompatible scaffold, providing a supportive matrix for your body to regenerate new bone in the affected jaw area. When combined with CGF, our dentists create a bioactive “sticky bone” compound that enhances and speeds up bone regeneration, improving overall healing outcomes following tooth extractions or cavitation surgery.
Laser Disinfection with Er: YAG
Our treatment includes the Er: YAG laser for precise cleaning and sterilisation of the extraction site. This laser effectively removes residual infected tissue and pathogens, promoting optimal healing and reducing the risk of reinfection.
This minimally invasive, comprehensive approach ensures effective management of cavitations, supports natural tissue regeneration, and prioritises patient comfort and recovery.
Ozone Therapy
Ozone is a powerful, pure oxygen molecule that stimulates metabolic and repair processes within diseased and damaged cells. Its antimicrobial properties effectively eliminate bacteria without contributing to antimicrobial resistance, a critical advantage over traditional antibiotics.
At our clinic, fresh medical-grade ozone is integrated into many treatments and can also be recommended for home oral care maintenance to enhance overall oral health.
By combining these advanced therapies, we deliver a comprehensive, minimally invasive treatment designed to restore the
health of your jawbone, alleviate symptoms, and support long-term oral wellness.
Elimination of hidden infectious foci contributing to chronic inflammation
Reduction of local and systemic inflammatory burden
Facilitation of bone healing and tissue regeneration
Improvement in overall oral and general health outcomes
Due to the complex nature of cavitations and their potential impact on systemic health, accurate diagnosis and skilled
surgical management are critical. If you are experiencing persistent symptoms or unexplained health issues,
we encourage you to schedule a comprehensive assessment.
