Oral, maxillofacial surgery and Dentistry

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS or OMFS) specializes in treating a wide range of diseases, injuries, and abnormalities in the craniofacial region, including the head, neck, face, and jaws, as well as the hard and soft tissues in these areas. OMS serves as a bridge between medicine and dentistry, addressing conditions that require expertise from both fields. Examples include head and neck tumors, early dental implant complications, infection prevention, salivary gland disorders, facial asymmetry, facial pain, and tumors and infections of the jaws.

Oral Medicine: Focuses on diagnosing and managing oral diseases and conditions, including mucosal disorders and systemic diseases affecting the mouth.

Endodontic Surgery: Treats issues within the tooth's root, often involving root canal procedures to address infections or damage.

Pre prosthetic Surgery: Prepares the oral tissues for prosthetic devices, such as dentures, by addressing anatomical or structural issues.

Implantology: Involves placing dental implants to replace missing teeth, integrating them into the jawbone for stability.

Maxillary Sinusitis: Inflammation of the maxillary sinuses, often impacting oral health and may require surgical intervention.

Neuralgias of Oral and Maxillofacial Region: Involves pain disorders affecting nerves in the oral and facial areas, such as trigeminal neuralgia.

Salivary Gland Pathologies: Includes diseases and disorders of the salivary glands, such as infections, stones, and tumors.

Maxillofacial Traumatology: Deals with injuries to the face and jaw, including fractures and soft tissue damage.

Orthognathic Surgery: Corrective jaw surgery to address structural abnormalities and improve function and appearance.
