Maxillofacial Surgery refers to a specialized branch of surgery that focuses on the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation of conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, face, and neck. It combines elements of dentistry and medicine to address a wide range of issues, including facial trauma, jaw alignment problems, facial deformities, tumors, infections, and congenital conditions.
This type of surgery can involve procedures such as dental implant placements, corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery), facial reconstructive surgeries following trauma or cancer, as well as treatments for conditions like temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, cysts, and facial fractures.
