Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

What Is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons treat a wide variety of conditions involving the bones and soft tissues of the face and mouth. These may include injuries from accidents, birth defects, developmental issues, or even tumors and infections.

Some common reasons people may need oral and maxillofacial surgery include:

• Jaw problems affecting how you eat, speak, or look
• Fractures of the jaw or face due to trauma
• Issues related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
• Surgical treatment of oral cancers or cysts
• Tooth loss requiring dentures or implants
• Infections in the mouth or face
• Correction of cleft lip and palate

Common Procedures Performed at Chirayu Hospital

Our oral and maxillofacial department performs a variety of surgeries to help restore both function and appearance. Some of the most commonly performed procedures include:

• Mandible and Maxilla Fixation
  This involves surgical treatment for fractures in the lower jaw (mandible) or upper jaw (maxilla). These fractures may occur due to trauma or accidents. Surgeons use plates, screws, or wires to hold the bones in place and ensure proper healing.
• Facial Injury Treatment
  Facial injuries such as broken cheekbones, jawbones, or cuts that involve bones and soft tissue require specialized care. Our surgeons are skilled in reconstructing the face to restore both aesthetics and function.
• TMJ Ankylosis
  TMJ Ankylosis is a condition where the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint) becomes stiff or immobile due to fusion of the joint bones. It can make it hard to open the mouth or chew. Surgical treatment helps restore joint movement and improves daily activities like speaking and eating.
• Facial Reconstruction Surgery
  Facial reconstruction is performed for patients with serious injuries, birth defects, or after tumor removal. It can involve rebuilding parts of the face such as the nose, cheeks, jaw, or eye socket to restore a natural appearance and function.
• Correction of Cleft Lip and Palate
  Children born with cleft lips or palates face difficulties in eating, speaking, and breathing. Our surgeons correct these defects through multiple stages of surgery, improving appearance and function while boosting confidence.
• Dentures and Implants
  For patients who have lost their teeth, we provide options like full or partial dentures, and dental implants. These help restore normal chewing, improve speech, and bring back your natural smile.
• Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
  Although root canal treatment is more common in general dentistry, in complex cases where infection spreads to surrounding bone or causes facial swelling, it may be treated in collaboration with our maxillofacial team.
