Dental surgery is a complex branch of dentistry designed to solve the dental complications that can affect the health of the teeth or correct functioning of the teeth. Oral surgery is divided into several branches delimited by the various problems that may affect a patient: buccal-maxillo-facial surgery (BMF), dento-alveolar surgery, oro-maxilo-facial surgery (OMF) and periodontal surgery .

Among the lightest dental surgeries are dental extraction, when a tooth can no longer be saved by standard dental procedures. Dental surgery includes the following: molar extraction, molar extraction of the mind, canine extraction, canine extraction included or incisive extraction.
