WASHINGTON, DC, January 07, 2011 (Press-News.org) You are probably familiar with oral surgery to remove impacted wisdom teeth, but that is just the tip of the iceberg when considering what oral surgery can accomplish and correct. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon specializes in oral and facial surgery.
Reconstructive Jaw Surgery
Reconstructive jaw surgery can include:
- Emergency care after facial trauma such as jaw fracture or knocked out teeth
- Bone grafting when there is not enough jaw bone material to support a dental implant
- Sinus lift, raising a lowered sinus cavity to accommodate a dental implant
- Cleft lip and palate correction
- Surgery to replace parts of the jaw and face removed after tumor surgery
Dental Extraction
In many cases, tooth extraction is a simple matter of pulling a bad tooth. However, if the tooth is impacted it must be removed surgically. An impacted tooth is a tooth that has not fully erupted. Its proper growth may be blocked by another tooth, it may be growing in the wrong direction, or both.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
Orthognathic surgery is jaw surgery to correct a misaligned bite. A misaligned bite can be an extreme and obvious overbite or under bite, or it can be a more subtle misalignment, including temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), that is not visible but causes problems such as:
- Pain when chewing
- Difficulty chewing
- Difficulty swallowing
- Snoring
- Speech problems
Dental Implant
A dental implant is a replacement for a missing tooth. The implant itself actually replaces the tooth root. A crown is then attached to the implant to replace the missing tooth. A dental implant is surgically implanted into your jaw bone, and then fuses with the bone.
Tumor and Cyst Removal
Most tumors and cysts of the mouth and jaw are not cancerous, but they can still be destructive to your oral health and they can be painful. Some are malignant or pre-cancerous. Either way, they should be removed as early as possible.
Periodontal Surgery
Periodontitis is disease of the tissue surrounding the teeth. It is an advanced form of gum disease, but it can involve more than just the gums, deteriorating the jaw bone and causing tooth loss. Periodontal surgery is performed when periodontitis has progressed to the point that other treatments can no longer take care of the problem.
Surgery to Correct Problems Causing Chronic Pain
Myofacial pain disorder causes chronic pain and can have elusive and misleading symptoms, making it very difficult to diagnose. While there are many causes of Myofacial pain disorder, a common cause deep skeletal or muscle injury. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon can diagnose and treat myofacial pain disorder.
