Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery is the department where surgical procedures are performed in the operating room environment under local-general anesthesia or sedation with the assistance of clinical and radiographic methods. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is the unit where the diagnosis and treatment of diseases in the teeth and jaw area are performed. Various issues concerning oral and dental health such as tooth extraction, impacted tooth operation, implant, jaw fracture treatment, detection and treatment of jaw tumors, abscesses and cysts, arrangement of tissues before prosthesis and orthodontic treatment are within the scope of maxillofacial surgery. It covers the diagnosis and surgical treatment of all kinds of diseases related to soft tissues such as cheek, palate, tongue, lips and hard tissues that we can list as teeth, bones, joints.
Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Surgical procedures on teeth that are impacted and/or require intervention during eruption,
- Removal of lesions at root tips,
- Removal of root tip cysts,
- Correction of the anomaly at the root tip by surgical intervention.
Surgical Applications for Jaw Bone in Maxillofacial Surgery
- Removal of cysts in the jawbone,
- Reconstruction of the jawbones with orthognathic surgery (orthodontic-based surgical procedures related to jaw aesthetics),
- Correction of abnormal bone structures in the jaw bones,
- Providing support by placing bone grafts (patches) in areas of bone deficiency.
Surgical Applications for Soft Tissue and Gingiva in Maxillofacial Surgery
- Removal of gingiva and soft tissues due to irritation between teeth,
- Removal of enlarged tissues due to the prosthesis,
- Removal of tissues that cause teeth to separate from each other,
- Removal of tissues due to irritation or spontaneously developed in the buccal mucosa,
- Removal of salivary gland cysts and stones,
- Supporting the gingiva with bone grafts and membranes,
- Gingival operations for aesthetic purposes.
Pre-Prosthetic Surgery in Maxillofacial Surgery
- Correction of edentulous jawbones for prostheses
- Gingiva and jawbone surgery to achieve sufficient distance for the prosthesis
- Surgical procedures for the frenulum (the fold that connects the gingiva to the lip) for attached tongue and lips
Implant Surgery
- Inserting implants (artificial tooth root) in the jawbone to complete missing teeth,
- Bone graft and membrane applications for pre-implant surgical preparation of the jawbone.
Emergency Surgery
- Closing the sinus cavities opened after extraction,
- Simple and complicated treatment of jaw fractures.
Impacted Tooth Extraction Operations
- Impacted tooth, wisdom tooth extraction,
- If the impacted wisdom teeth are not extracted
- Complications caused by molars
- Pain
- Cyst formation
- Odontogenic tumor formation
- Resorption formation on the root surface of the adjacent second molar
- Jaw fractures
- Crowding in the lower anterior teeth
- Prosthesis irritation
