What is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS) is a specialized surgical discipline that focuses on diagnosing and treating complex conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, face, and neck. It encompasses a broad range of procedures including:
- Wisdom tooth extractions
- Dental implant placement
- Treatment of facial trauma and fractures
- Correction of congenital deformities (e.g., cleft lip and palate)
- Jaw alignment surgeries (orthognathic surgery)
- Removal of cysts, tumors, and oral cancers
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgeries and facial reconstructions
Performed by surgeons with advanced training in both dentistry and surgery, OMS procedures aim to restore function, correct deformities, and enhance aesthetics. Depending on the complexity, these surgeries may be done on an outpatient basis or require a hospital stay of several days. Recovery times vary widely—from one week for minor procedures to several months for complex reconstructive surgeries.
Advanced diagnostic tools, anesthetic techniques, and surgical innovations (including robotic-assisted procedures in select cases) ensure high precision and safety. Post-surgical care typically involves pain management, infection control, dietary adjustments, and physiotherapy for optimal healing and function.
