Treatment Overview
Endoscopic-Assisted Wisdom Tooth Removal in Korea is one of the most advanced and minimally invasive methods for safe and precise wisdom tooth extraction.
By integrating endoscopic visualization, 3D CBCT imaging, and microsurgical precision, Korean oral surgeons perform complex extractions with unparalleled accuracy and comfort.
This technique utilizes a high-definition endoscope camera to magnify and illuminate the surgical area, allowing the surgeon to view hidden tooth roots, nerves, and bone structures in real time.
As a result, tissue trauma, swelling, and postoperative pain are significantly reduced while ensuring nerve protection and faster healing.
Korea’s world-class dental specialists combine digital navigation, endoscopic magnification, and AI-assisted planning to deliver a completely safe and comfortable extraction experience trusted by patients worldwide.
Purpose & Benefits
Purpose
- Safely remove impacted or deeply positioned wisdom teeth under endoscopic guidance.
- Prevent nerve injury, bone damage, and unnecessary tissue removal.
- Enhance surgical visibility in confined or high-risk anatomical areas.
- Shorten recovery time through minimally invasive approaches.
- Improve healing outcomes with precision and control.
Benefits
- High-Definition Visualization: Endoscope camera provides 10x magnified view of the surgical site.
- Nerve-Safe Surgery: Real-time imaging helps protect the inferior alveolar and lingual nerves.
- Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions and less bone removal mean faster recovery.
- Pain-Free Comfort: Local or IV sedation ensures a relaxed experience.
- Faster Healing: Reduced swelling and tissue trauma post-surgery.
- Scar-Free Aesthetics: Micro-flap techniques preserve gum structure and appearance.
Ideal Candidates
Endoscopic-assisted extraction is recommended for patients who need safe, high-precision removal of wisdom teeth in delicate areas.
Ideal Candidates Include:
- Individuals with impacted or horizontally positioned wisdom teeth.
- Patients with roots close to the inferior alveolar nerve or sinus cavity.
- Those who previously experienced difficult or incomplete extractions.
- Patients seeking minimally invasive oral surgery with quick recovery.
- International patients looking for affordable, advanced microsurgical care in Korea.
Possible Risks & Complications
While endoscopic-assisted extraction significantly reduces complications, minor and temporary side effects can occur:
- Mild swelling or bruising for 1–3 days.
- Temporary jaw stiffness or tenderness.
- Minimal bleeding within the first 24 hours.
- Rare temporary nerve sensitivity (less than 0.5% risk with endoscopic visualization).
Korean clinics minimize risks using 3D CT imaging, AI-guided mapping, and real-time endoscopic feedback during surgery, ensuring absolute safety and comfort.
Surgical Techniques Used
Korea’s Endoscopic-Assisted Wisdom Tooth Removal System merges digital visualization with microsurgical tools for precision and speed.
Key Techniques Include:
- 3D CBCT Imaging: Comprehensive mapping of roots, nerves, and bone structure.
- AI Surgical Planning: Digital simulation ensures safe extraction pathways.
- Endoscopic Visualization: Magnified camera imaging provides real-time surgical control.
- Piezosurgery Ultrasonic Cutting: Gentle bone removal with minimal tissue trauma.
- Laser Hemostasis: Seals blood vessels and reduces bleeding.
- PRF Healing Therapy: Platelet-rich fibrin accelerates recovery and regeneration.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery is typically faster and more comfortable than conventional extractions.
- Apply cold compresses for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling.
- Eat soft foods and avoid hard, spicy, or hot items for a few days.
- Rinse gently with antiseptic mouthwash after 24 hours.
- Take prescribed medications as directed by your oral surgeon.
- Attend scheduled follow-ups or digital check-ins for healing assessment.
Typical Recovery Time: 3–5 days, depending on extraction complexity and number of teeth removed.
Results & Longevity
