Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery
There are also advanced implant surgery applications such as placing implants that are often used in dentistry into the jaw, placing bone grafts as a result of insufficient bone required for the implant.
Another issue that is within the scope of jaw surgery is congenital or subsequent jaw facial anomalies. These include clefts of the palate and lips, which are often encountered, cases such as impaired chewing function and aesthetics due to the forward or Decumbent positioning of the lower or upper jaw.
Diagnostic Methods
It is used in advanced techniques in which traditional techniques such as X-ray are used within the scope of jaw surgical diagnostic methods and a three-dimensional bone model of the patient is obtained to an exact extent by being supported by tomography.
In this way, the operation plan can be made completely by making a definitive diagnosis before the operation. In order to be successful during diagnosis and treatment, multidisciplinary studies are required together with other specialties of dentistry, such as orthodontics and prostodontics.
Treatment Methods
Surgical procedures related to oral, dental and maxillofacial diseases can be performed under local anesthesia (regional numbing), as well as under general anesthesia. Patients are kept under observation by being admitted after major surgical procedures.
In the implementation of surgical procedures, patients’ comfort, existing diseases, anxiety and fear of treatment are primarily taken into account and patients are treated accordingly.
