Maxillofacial Surgeries
Maxillofacial surgery is the dental specialty that is commonly known for treatment of wisdom teeth, temporomandibular joint disorder, and corrective jaw surgery. But oral and maxillofacial surgeons cover a much broader scope of practice.
Facial Trauma
Traumatic facial injuries are commonplace in North America. Interpersonal violence, falls, motor vehicle crashes and sport related injuries make up the majority of etiologies for these injuries.1 Since the advent of seat belts.
Cysts & Tumors Enucleation
Odontogenic cysts that can be problematic because of recurrence and/or aggressive growth include odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), calcifying odontogenic cyst, and the recently described glandular odontogenic cyst.
Facial Deformity Corrections
Advances in facial augmentation with temporary and semi-permanent soft tissue fillers make it possible to improve the appearance of unsightly scars and facial asymmetries without the need for permanent implants or surgery.
TMJ Ankylosis
Temperomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis or hypo mobility involves fusion of the mandibular condyle to the base of the skull. Impairment of speech, difficulty in mastication, poor oral hygiene, rampant caries, and acute compromise.
OSMF
Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic debilitating disease of the oral cavity characterized by inflammation and progressive fibrosis of the submucosal tissues (lamina propria and deeper connective tissues).

Bone Grafting
As recent ago as the 1970′s and 80′s, before the renaissance of “dental implants”, much of pre-prosthetic oral surgery was aimed at simply building a stable base for a denture in patients who had experienced severe atrophy of their jaws.
Dentals Implant
