Maxillofacial surgery includes the following procedures:
Sinus lift (internal or external); Bone addition; Dental extraction; PRF treatment for fast healing; Frenectomy / frenectomy / frenotomy
Maxillofacial surgery can provide a number of benefits for patients, including:
- Treatment of dental and stomatognathic disorders: maxillofacial surgery can help treat dental and stomatognathic disorders, such as extraction of impacted teeth, dental implants, correction of malocclusions and treatment of temporomandibular disorders.
- Improving physical appearance: cosmetic surgery can be performed to improve the physical appearance of the face and reduce signs of ageing such as wrinkles, folds and sagging skin.
- Treatment of diseases and conditions: maxillofacial surgery can be used to treat diseases and conditions of the maxillofacial system, such as tumours, infections and fractures.
- Improved quality of life: treatment of maxillofacial conditions can help improve patients' quality of life by reducing pain, discomfort and chewing problems.
- Rapid recovery and minimal invasiveness: many maxillofacial surgical procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques, which can lead to rapid recovery with fewer postoperative complications.
- Multidisciplinary approach: maxillofacial surgery involves a multidisciplinary approach, so patients can benefit from a wide range of dental, orthopaedic, neurological and other specialists working together to provide the best patient care.
Maxillofacial surgery is a branch of medicine that focuses on treating conditions, diseases and defects of the face, mouth, jaw, mandible and neck. This involves a wide range of surgical procedures, including aesthetic and reconstructive procedures, orthopaedic, trauma, oncological, dental surgery, as well as procedures to treat nervous or vascular disorders.
Maxillofacial surgeons work with a multidisciplinary team of specialists, including dentists, orthopaedists, radiologists, ophthalmologists, neurologists and oncologists, to provide appropriate treatment for patients with complex conditions.
Common procedures performed by maxillofacial surgeons include extraction of impacted teeth, correction of malocclusions (bite dysfunctions), treatment of facial fractures, maxillofacial reconstruction after cancer surgery, treatment of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and procedures to treat congenital or facial skeletal disorders.
In general, maxillofacial surgical procedures are performed under general or local anaesthesia and require a recovery period that may vary depending on the nature of the surgery performed.
