Oral and maxillofacial surgery is
surgery to correct a wide spectrum of diseases, injuries and defects in the
head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the oral and
maxillofacial region. It is an internationally recognized surgical specialty. Oral
and maxillofacial surgery is one of the nine specialties of dentistry
recognized by the American Dental Association, Royal College of Surgeons of
Edinburgh, Royal College of Surgeons of England, Royal College of Dentists of
Canada, Brazilian Federal Council of Odontology (CFO) and Royal Australasian
College of Dental Surgeons.
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is
a specialist surgeon treating the entire craniomaxillofacial complex (a term
typically used to describe an area of focus for the study and treatment of
certain congenital malformations or facial injuries) - anatomical
area of the mouth, jaws, face, skull, as well as associated structures. Maxillofacial
surgeons are initially qualified in dentistry and have undergone further
surgical training.

Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery
Cleft lip and cleft
palate, which can also occur together as cleft lip and palate, are
variations of a type of split congenital deformity caused by abnormal
facial development during pregnancy. Cleft palate (Palatoschisis) means a
congenital split in the roof of the mouth. Cleft Lip (cheiloschisis) means a
congenital cleft in the middle of the upper lip.
Facial scars can be a result of
various causes, for instance, accidental injuries, skin conditions like acne
and chicken pox or surgery. Since scars on the face are easily noticeable they
can lead to lower self confidence or embarrassment on some occasions.
Lip Shape or Size Correction
Nice lips can add to the overall
facial beauty very much. However lip deformities are corrected by various
treatments and surgeries. Lip surgery is a surgical specialty that aims at
improving the appearance and also lips size and shape correction by increasing
the fullness through lip enhancement.
A tumour is a growth caused by an
overproduction of cells. A cyst is similar to a tumour, except that it is
filled with fluid. Both tumours and cysts can form in the bone of the
maxillofacial region, most frequently in the lower jaw bone. This growth can
cause the formation of a cyst or tumour that can damage surrounding teeth and
bone. So cyst must be removed as early as possible then only we can protect the
bone and teeth from damage.
Torn earlobes are a common problem
with pierced earlobes. Torn earlobes can easily be repaired. Maxillofacial
surgeon will do the repair in their office, others in an outpatient surgery
center. Most torn earlobes can be effectively and safely corrected using
delicate surgical repair techniques. The procedure is routinely performed in
the office under local anesthesia with an optional sedative.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth, also known as third
molars are the last teeth to erupt. This occurs usually between the ages of 17
and 25. If these impacted teeth are in an abnormal position their potential for
harm should be assessed. To remove the wisdom tooth, the dentist will open up
the gum tissue over the tooth and take out any bone that is covering the tooth.
He will separate the tissue connecting the tooth to the bone and then remove
the tooth. Sometimes the dentist will cut the tooth into smaller pieces to make
it easier to remove.
Facial Cosmetic Surgery is a surgery
performed to improve the appearance of face. It removes wrinkles and other
signs of aging from your face and gives you a Beautiful and attractive look.
Temporomandibular joint disorder,
TMJD or TMJ syndrome, is an umbrella term covering acute or chronic pain,
especially in the muscles of mastication and inflammation of
the temporomandibular joint, which connects the mandible to
the skull.
Facial Burn Scar Treatment
Burn is an injury that is caused
by heat and it results in death of a tissue. Burn scars are among the most
difficult to treat. The nerve endings may be damaged due
to Burns which may result in immense pain and discomfort. Once a scar
forms, it is permanent but may be made less visible or relocated surgically. Lasertechnology permits successful treatment of various types of burn scars.
Many people are unhappy with their
nose's size or shape, perhaps it is large or crooked or maybe you feel it just
does not fit in with the rest of your facial features. Nose correction surgery
or nose reshaping is also often referred to as nose job surgery or Rhinoplasty
surgery and can drastically alter your appearance. It involves a surgical
procedure to alter the appearance of the nose.
The word “fracture” just means
“break”, so facial fractures are broken facial bones. Facial fractures can
occur singly (such as a broken nose) or in a combination (such as occurs in a
severe motor vehicle accident). These are corrected by oral and maxillofacial
surgeon very easily.
Oral Cancer is a cancer found in the
