What is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?
Oral and Maxillofacial surgery is a specialty that covers a broad spectrum of conditions that affect the mouth and face. It bridges the two disciplines of medicine and dentistry, and involves procedures that range from the removal of wisdom teeth to major head and neck resections for oral cancer to reconstructive surgery after facial trauma. Specialist Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons obtain both a medical degree and dental degree prior to broad based surgical training, which is then followed by an intensive, four-year program of specialist surgical training.
Some of the areas in which Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons have unique knowledge and experience include:
removal of teeth, including wisdom teeth
placement of dental implants and various grafting procedures associated with implant placement
management of facial trauma including fractures of the forehead (frontal bone, naso-orbito-ethmoidal), eye socket (orbit), cheek-bones (zygoma) and jaws (mandible, maxilla)
diagnosis and treatment of cancer of the oral cavity
corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) for under- or over-bite jaw deformities, involving repositioning of the jaws, and
management of a wide variety of conditions which affect the appearance and function of the face including the reduction or augmentation of the jaws, cheeks, and chin.
