It is a branch of dentistry which deals with the soft tissues of the oral cavity (cheek, palate, tongue, and lips) and also the hard tissues (teeth, and alveolar bones) within the surgical room environment.

Surgical interventions are applied to the soft tissues (such as cheeks, tongue, palate or lips) and hard tissues (teeth and bones) in the oral cavity.

Wisdom teeth are the third molars at the back of the dental arch. They usually erupt by the age of twenties; however, they often partially erupt or remain impacted in the jaw bone due to teeth crowding and displacement of the eruption position or depending on the bone density in the respective region of the oral cavity.
