Soft tissue impaction refers to a condition where a tooth, typically a wisdom tooth (third molar), is partially or fully covered by the gum tissue, making it difficult to fully emerge or erupt into its proper position. This type of impaction is different from bony impaction, where the tooth is partially or fully covered by jawbone.

The surgical removal of residual root tips is a dental procedure performed to extract any remaining portions of a tooth’s roots that may be left in the jawbone after a tooth extraction. This situation can occur when a tooth is broken or decayed, and the dentist cannot remove the entire tooth in a single piece.

A therapeutic pulpotomy is a dental procedure performed permanent on primary (baby) teeth to treat extensive decay or injury that affects the pulp tissue (the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels). The goal of a pulpotomy is to remove infected or damaged tissue, alleviate pain, and preserve the vitality and function of the tooth.

Tissue conditioning is a dental procedure used to improve the health and condition of the soft tissues (gums) in the mouth, particularly in areas where dentures or other dental prostheses will be placed.

Porcelain Inlay or Onlay is a filling consisting of a solid substance (i.e. porcelain) fitted to a cavity in a tooth and cemented into place.
