These images were taken during an implant surgery at Hanoi Smile. The dentist and assistant wear sterile gowns, caps, masks and gloves; the patient is covered with sterile drapes leaving only the surgical site exposed. Images are published with the patient's consent.
Sterile principles
- Instruments are sterilised and packaged, opened only at the start of surgery.
- The team performs surgical hand scrub and wears sterile gowns and gloves.
- The patient rinses with antiseptic, the area around the mouth is disinfected and draped.
- An assistant handles suction, lighting and instruments so the surgeon can focus.
After surgery
Patients apply cold packs, take prescribed medication, eat soft food, avoid vigorous rinsing for 24 hours and return for suture removal. Prolonged bleeding, increasing swelling or fever should be reported immediately.
Note: Treatment indications and outcomes depend on each person's oral condition, general health and home care. This article is for general information only; an in-person examination is needed for individual advice.
