Oral Surgery India

Oral Surgery is any surgery involving the bones and soft tissues of the face, mouth and neck. Oral Surgeon is the person who has a degree in medical practice with special expertise in dentistry and all related to mouth and jaw. A doctor who performs surgery in these portions of the body is named as an Oral Surgeon.

Actually mouth and face is the most interactive part of human beings. For socialization or for any other purpose it�s the face and mouth which works most. And hence it gets degenerated the maximum.

Types of Oral Surgery:
Oral surgeons perform a wide range of operations:

  • wisdom teeth removal
  • Jaw growth
  • facial reconstruction
  • Denture fitting
  • Dental implants
  • surgical correction of misaligned jaws
  • cancer removal surgery
  • facial fractures

    Wisdom teeth removal: Wisdom teeth that fail to emerge can damage the surrounding teeth, gums or bones, or cause cysts or tumors in the jaw. If x-rays reveal problematic wisdom teeth, an oral surgeon will extract the teeth.

    Jaw growth: A jaw that fails to develop properly�for example, where the top jaw has grown larger than the bottom, or vice versa�can lead to speech or breathing problems, chewing and swallowing difficulties, jaw pain and, as a result of these problems, unhappiness. Sometimes, the irregularity can be corrected by an orthodonist; in more severe cases, an oral surgeon will step in and perform orthognathic surgery, or corrective jaw surgery.

    Cosmetic facial surgery: Birth defects, trauma, accidents and aging can all lead to facial disfiguration. Maxillofacial surgery can help affected individuals achieve a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

    Denture fitting: Sometimes, in order for dentures to fit properly, jaw and soft tissue irregularities must be corrected with oral surgery. For example, the oral surgeon may correct jaw shrinkage with a bone graft.

    Dental implants: Edentulism, or tooth loss, can create problems with chewing, jawbone shrinkage (resorption), and overall tooth weakening as remaining teeth struggle to do the work of the missing ones. Oral surgeons can implant natural-looking, natural-feeling titanium teeth to replace missing natural teeth.

    Facial pain: Malfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the joint that allows jaw movement, is a common source of facial pain. In extreme cases, facial surgery can alleviate the pain.

    Oral cancer: Oral surgeons can also detect, diagnose and treat suspicious lumps or lesions in the mouth that may lead to cancer.

    Facial fractures: If injury leads to broken facial bones, oral surgeons can offer patients a variety of options to bring his or her appearance back to normal.

    General oral problems:

    Oral disorders are a very common part of many individuals all over the globe at large. But it is simply on these oral surgeons to cure them up and teach them to have a better oral health.

    Process of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery:

    Any general dental maintenance, prevention or restoration should be performed prior to orthodontic and surgical intervention. Then, the first stage of treatment is the alignment of the teeth into a stable relationship with the underlying jaw by orthodontics, which prepares the dental arches for the surgical repositioning. This stage usually takes the longest, from a few months to over a year. At this stage, the abnormal bite (malocclusion) may become more noticeable. Once ready for the surgical procedures, the orthodontist and maxillofacial surgeon will review photographs, x-ray and dental models to finalize the surgical plan. The operation may involve a single jaw or both jaws (maxilla and mandible).The surgery may also be combined with other procedures, such as rhinoplasty (nose correction) or genioplasty (chin correction) to improve the general appearance of your face. The procedure may take 2-4 hours, depending on the complexity. Most patients are kept in the hospital for 2-5 days, again depending on the specifics of the procedure and post-operative condition.

    Recovery after Maxillofacial surgery:
    Most patients return to their normal activities within a week or two after their surgery. The surgeon will monitor the healing, and review the changes in your facial structures and occlusion (bite). The orthodontist will adjust the braces to fit the new repositioned jaw. Orthodontic treatment may continue for several months to ensure optimal positioning of the teeth.
