Oral, Dental & Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral, Dental & Maxillofacial Surgery (Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery is a branch of dentistry that handles the diagnosis and treatment of congenital or acquired cysts, tumors, infections, trauma, impacted teeth, and jaw deformities involving the soft and hard tissues within the oral cavity and the jaw-facial region through surgical methods.

Surgical procedures performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia aim to preserve the aesthetic and functional integrity of the jaw and facial anatomy, eliminate pathologies, and restore tissue loss.

In Which Cases Is It Preferred?

• In the surgical extraction of impacted, partially impacted, or complicated wisdom teeth and unerupted canine teeth,

• In the removal of cysts, tumors, and pathological lesions that develop within the jaw bones and soft tissue,

• In bone grafting (bone powder) and sinus floor elevation (sinus lifting) procedures aimed at increasing bone volume before dental implant applications,

• In the surgical treatment of jaw fractures, joint injuries, and facial trauma,

• In orthognathic surgery operations that correct incompatibilities in the relationship of the lower and upper jaws with each other or with the face,

• In hard and soft tissue corrections performed to prepare tissues before prosthetic treatment (alveoloplasty, frenectomy, etc.).

Clinical Benefits:

• Preserves Anatomical Integrity and Health: It protects the surrounding tissues by eliminating cysts, infections, and pathological formations that could cause destruction in the jawbone at the source.

• Safe and Painless Surgical Process: Thanks to advanced anesthesia and sedation methods, surgical interventions are performed for patients in a comfortable and stress-free environment.

• Prepares the Ground for Advanced Treatments: By stimulating bone formation in areas with insufficient bone tissue, it allows implant or prosthetic applications to be performed.

The success of Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery operations depends on detailed radiographic evaluation (3D Dental Volumetric Tomography / CBCT), fully sterile surgical conditions, the expertise and discipline of the specialist physician, and the patient's compliance with postoperative clinical recommendations.
