Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral surgery is the field of dentistry that includes the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases, injuries and deformities involving both functional and aesthetic aspects of hard and soft tissues of the head, mouth, teeth, gums, jaws and neck.

Involves the removal of impacted teeth (sisos), apicoectomy, disorders of the temporomandibular joint, facial trauma, corrective surgery for deformities of the jaws, oral pathology or dental implants.

Reconstructive arthroplasty of the TMJ (with complete phrostesis)

 

Is indicated in cases with severely damaged joints due to birth defects, trauma or advanced osteoarthritis.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coronoidectomy (cases of hyperplasia of the coronoid apophysis)

Cleft palate

 

 

Correspond to birth defects (occurring between the 4th and 10th week of gestation) characterized by gaps or discontinuity of the structures of the lip and / or palate, location and extent of variables

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apicoectomy

Some periapical lesions (cysts present in the root tip) can not resolve through the endodontic treatment (root canal), therefore requiring a curettage of the lesion, associated with an apicoectomy (removal of the final portion of the root).

 

Cysts and tumors

Cysts and tumors of the oral cavity are a broad group of lesions that should be identified and treated, preventing functional and aesthetic damage to the body. The problems can be congenital or appear during the development of organs such as teeth, bones and gums from irregularities and anomalies of tissues. Surgical treatment of these pathologies involve specific techniques for each type of lesion.
