Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, face, and related structures. These surgical procedures are performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons who have completed dental school and undergone extensive additional training.
Here are some common oral and maxillofacial surgeries:
- Tooth Extractions: Oral surgeons commonly perform simple and complex tooth extractions, including impacted wisdom teeth and severely damaged or infected teeth.
- Dental Implant Placement: Oral surgeons are skilled in placing dental implants, which are artificial tooth roots used to support dental prosthetics like crowns, bridges, or dentures.
- Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery): This surgery is performed to correct irregularities in the jaw bones, such as misalignments, malocclusions (bad bites), or temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ).
- TMJ Disorders: Oral surgeons can diagnose and treat disorders of the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jawbone to the skull. Treatment options may include medication, physical therapy, or in some cases, surgery.
- Facial Trauma: Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are often involved in treating facial injuries resulting from accidents, falls, or sports-related incidents. They can repair facial fractures, lacerations, and soft tissue injuries.
- Cleft Lip and Palate Repair: Oral surgeons work as part of a multidisciplinary team to repair cleft lip and palate conditions, which involve a separation or gap in the lip or roof of the mouth. These surgeries aim to improve speech, eating, and facial appearance.
- Facial Reconstruction: In cases of facial deformities due to birth defects, trauma, or disease, oral surgeons can perform reconstructive procedures to restore facial aesthetics and function.
