Description
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS) is a surgical specialty that involves the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, injuries, and deformities of the oral and maxillofacial region. This region includes the mouth, teeth, jaws, face, and neck.
OMS can encompass a wide range of surgical procedures, including:
Tooth extraction: OMS surgeons are trained to extract teeth, including wisdom teeth, and can perform more complex extractions when necessary.
Dental implants: OMS surgeons can place dental implants, which are used to replace missing teeth and provide a stable foundation for dentures or bridges.
Orthognathic surgery: This type of surgery is used to correct problems with the jaw and bite, such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery: OMS surgeons can treat TMJ disorders, which can cause pain and discomfort in the jaw joint and muscles.
Facial trauma surgery: OMS surgeons can repair injuries to the face, including fractures of the jaw, cheekbones, and eye sockets.
Cleft lip and palate repair: OMS surgeons can perform surgery to correct congenital defects of the lip and palate.
OMS surgeons are also trained to administer anaesthesia and can provide both local and general anaesthesia for surgical procedures. They work closely with other dental and medical professionals to provide comprehensive care for patients. If you are in need of oral or maxillofacial surgery, your dentist or physician can refer you to an OMS specialist. The specialist will evaluate your condition and provide you with a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
