Oral, Dental and Jaw Surgery
Oral, dental, and jaw surgery is a sub-branch of dentistry. This specialty involves surgical procedures for the treatment, repair, and improvement of the aesthetic appearance of teeth, gums, jawbones, jaw joint, and similar structures.
Oral, dental, and jaw surgery covers a wide range of procedures, including implant treatment, jaw fractures, embedded tooth extraction, orthognathic surgery, jaw joint problems, intraoral cancers, and cysts.
Implant Treatment
Tooth loss can occur for a variety of reasons, including tooth decay, gum disease, and various traumas. An implant is used as an artificial root, placed in the position of the lost teeth. Implant treatment is typically a surgical procedure and requires an appropriate amount and quality of bone for implant placement.
Jaw Fractures
Jaw fractures are the most common fractures in the face and jaw area, often caused by various factors such as sports injuries, car accidents, and falls. The treatment of jaw fractures may vary depending on the type and location of the fracture.
Buried Tooth Extraction
A buried tooth is one that is stuck between other teeth or completely under the gum. Buried teeth can lead to infections and tooth decay, so their removal is often recommended.
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery involves the surgical correction of the lower and upper jawbones. This procedure is used for various conditions, including abnormalities in the jaw structure, problems with jaw alignment, and breathing disorders.
Oral Cancers
Intraoral cancers originate from tissues inside the mouth. Treatment for these cancers often involves a combination of surgical intervention, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
Cysts
Cysts that form in the mouth may arise from tooth roots or gum tissues. The treatment of cysts can vary depending on the size and type of the cyst. Usually, the cyst is surgically removed.
