What is Incision and Excision?

Incision and excision are surgical procedures commonly performed in dental and maxillofacial treatments. An incision refers to making a precise cut in the tissue to access an affected area, whereas excision involves removing diseased or abnormal tissue, such as cysts, tumours, or growths. These procedures are crucial for diagnosing and treating various oral health conditions.

Causes

  • Presence of cysts, abscesses, or tumours in the oral cavity.
  • Infections that require drainage or removal of infected tissue.
  • Injuries leading to damage or abnormal tissue growth in the mouth or facial region.
  • Conditions like impacted teeth or wisdom teeth complications.
  • Oral cancers or suspicious lesions that need removal for further diagnosis.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Incision or Excision

  • Persistent swelling or lumps in the mouth, jaw, or face.
  • Pain or discomfort in a specific area of the oral cavity.
  • Difficulty opening the mouth or chewing.
  • Unexplained bleeding or discharge from a specific region in the mouth.
  • Visible growths or lesions in the mouth or on the gums.
  • Infection that doesn’t respond to medication, causing severe discomfort.

Treatment Options

  • Diagnostic Evaluation: Comprehensive examination, including X-rays or scans, to identify the problem area.
  • Local Anaesthesia: The affected area is numbed to ensure a painless procedure.
  • Surgical Procedure:
    • Incision: A small cut is made to access the underlying tissue.
    • Excision: The abnormal tissue, growth, or lesion is carefully removed.
  • Post-Surgery Care: Stitches may be used to close the wound, and antibiotics or painkillers are prescribed to manage infection and discomfort.
  • Follow-up: Regular check-ups to monitor healing and ensure no recurrence of the condition.
