By the end of this video, you will get an idea of What is a Maxillofacial and when do you need a Maxillofacial surgeon.
Hai, I am Dr.Aseema Pati, Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon at COMHTS, Hyderabad. Many of my followers and patients have asked me what are treatments I can treat. So I thought to come up with a video on this. Let’s start!
What actually is Maxillofacial?
Maxillofacial surgery has something to do with the face and front part of the head. “Maxillo” is a Latin word meaning “jaw.” Therefore, the term “maxillofacial” refers to the jawbone and facial bones, and maxillofacial surgery is a medical field that focuses on treating conditions in this area with surgical procedures.
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon holds a doctorate degree and has extensive training in dentistry. These surgeons are trained in anesthesia and pain management, with a focus on anesthesia that allows you to walk after the appointment.
When do you need a Maxillofacial surgeon?
Maxillofacial surgery is a more advanced form of oral surgery. Maxillofacial surgeons are often called upon to treat patients who have suffered from facial trauma. Trauma involves sudden, violent strokes that often cause the bones to crack and can lead to facial disfiguration.
The following are conditions that may require the expertise of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon:
Bite abnormality (dysgnathia)
Chronic facial pain
Cleft lip or palate
Dental implants
Difficult tooth extractions
Misaligned jaws
Impacted wisdom teeth
Oral reconstructive surgery
Facial, Oral, or Neck Cancer
Skeletal Problems
Finally, maxillofacial surgeons can also treat cosmetic problems. Some of the cosmetic surgeries like facelifts, rhinoplasty, etc can be treated. If you are interested in getting a dental implant or simply changing your facial profile, you can work with one of the maxillofacial surgeons to achieve your appearance goals.
