What does FGOS mean in SURGICAL

Friction Grip Oral Surgery, or FGOS, is an innovative and minimally invasive technique used in dental surgery. It uses specialized tools with rotating tips designed to grip underlying tissue without causing damage to adjacent anatomical structures. This allows for a more precise removal of diseased or damaged tissue than traditional open surgeries.

FGOS can be used to perform various dental procedures such as apicectomies, crown lengthening, implant placements, periodontal debridement, and root canal therapy. Additionally, it can also be used in reconstructive oral surgeries including orthognathic surgery to treat jaw alignment issues.

By using specialized tools with rotating tips that grip underlying tissue without causing damage to adjacent anatomical structures during extraction, FGOS reduces the risk of excessive bleeding and trauma associated with open surgeries. As a result, recovery time is often greatly reduced when compared to traditional open surgeries.

Yes, dentists performing procedures using FGOS must have special training which typically consists of a combination of hands-on instruction under the guidance of experienced practitioners as well as theoretical knowledge gained through coursework or seminars

Although there are some risks associated with FGOS (as there are with any type of surgery), they tend to be much less severe when compared to traditional open surgeries due to the minimal trauma caused by the procedure itself. Possible complications include infection at the surgical site as well as numbness or tingling near incisions which may resolve over time.
