Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is that specialty of dentistry that includes the diagnosis, surgical and adjunctive treatment of diseases, injuries and defects involving both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region. It is a surgical specialty focusing on anaplasty of the face, facial trauma surgery, the oral fissure, head and neck, mouth, and jaws, as well as facial cosmetic surgery.

An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is a regional specialist surgeon who treats the complete craniomaxillofacial complex: anatomical area of the mouth, jaws, face, and skull, head and neck as well as associated structures. As stated by the national jurisdiction, oral and maxillofacial surgery may require a degree in medicine, dentistry or both.

Numerous oral and maxillofacial surgical operations are carried out on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia or conscious sedation. These surgeries include: pre-implant surgery placement of dental/facial implants, removal of impacted teeth, intra-oral and facial soft tissue procedures.

Other major operations, for example those for salivary gland disease, trauma, facial deformity or cancer, are carried out on an inpatient basis under general anaesthetic.
