the specialty of dentistry that includes the diagnosis and surgical treatment of
diseases, injuries, and defects, including both the functional and the esthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial regions |
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
|
|
The individual dentist's desire to perform surgery
The dentist's training and experience The dentist's level of skill The availability of specialists in the dentist's geographic area |
Scope of Practice-For the GP
|
|
The removal of a tooth without the need for a bone removal or
reflection of a mucoperiosteal flap |
Simple Extraction
|
|
A flap of soft tissue overlying the tooth. The flap is full thickness
and includes all tissue overlying the bone |
Mucoperiosteal Flap
|
|
The removal of a tooth or tooth root which requires the reflection of
a mucoperiosteal flap for access, and may also require the removal of overlying alveolar bone, and or sectioning of the tooth. |
Surgical Extraction
|
|
Dividing the tooth into segments with chisels or burs to facilitate
removal |
Tooth Sectioning
|
|
A tooth which has not erupted into its normal expected position in the
dental arch, and whose normal eruption is not anticipated |
Impacted Tooth
|
|
The most commonly impacted tooth. Also referred to as the wisdom tooth.
|
Third Molar
|
|
Instruments designed for the delivery of force in order to dilate the tooth
socket, sever the periodontal ligament attachment of a tooth, and allow withdrawal of the tooth from the socket |
Instruments
|
|
Instrument designed to wedge or shoehorn the tooth from the socket
|
Elevators
|
|
Used to grasp the tooth
|
Extraction Forceps
|
|
Preparation of the alveolar bone and overlying soft tissue to support a denture prosthesis
|
Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
|
|
Re-contouring or reduction of the alveolar bone
|
Alveoloplasty
|
|
The reduction or re-contouring of the maxillary tuberosity
|
Tuberosity Reduction
|
|
Tori are inherited exostoses (projections of bone beyond the normal
bony contour of the maxilla or the mandible, which usually do not require removal unless they interfere with the placement of a prosthesis) |
Removal of Tori
|
|
Surgical procedure to either completely remove, or
change the orientation of bands of fibrous connective tissue or muscle. These bands extend from the lip and cheek into the alveolar mucoperiosteum |
Labial or Buccal Frenectomy
|
|
Surgical removal or re-orientation of connective tissue or muscle
attachments which limit movement of the tongue |
Lingual Frenectomy
|
|
Procedures to increase the height and/or
improve the contour of the alveolar ridges to better support a prosthesis |
Maxillary or mandibular ridge augmentation
|
|
Procedure used to extend the labial, buccal, or lingual sulcus to create
more surface area of attached mucosal tissue to better support a dental prosthesis |
Vestibuloplasty
|
|
Procedure to remove tissue, resulting in attachment
of epithelium to periosteum thereby creating fixed mucosal tissue from moveable mucosa. |
Submucosal Vestibuloplasty
|
|
Procedure to remove moveable tissue from the
periosteum, and to graft or replace the removed moveable tissue, which becomes fixed to the periosteum and creates better denture support |
Tissue Grafting Vestibuloplasty
|
|
Procedures to alter the relationship of the jaws and alveolar ridges to each other, using the
cranial base as a reference. |
Orthognathic Surgery
|
|
The most commonly used maxillary orthognathic surgery
procedure, is done intraorally, and separates the tooth bearing portion from the rest of the facial skeleton. |
LeFort I Osteotomies
|
|
Procedures to separate the tooth bearing anterior segment of the
mandible from the posterior position which includes the TMJ. Most common are the saggital split osteotomy and the intra-oral vertical subcondylar osteotomy |
Ramus Osteotomies
|
|
Procedures to restore missing parts of bone or soft tissue. Usually include autogenous
bone grafts from the patients own cranium, iliac crest, or rib. Also may include allogenic grafts, which are bone taken from a donor, usually cadaveric, and prepared by procedures such as decalcification or freeze-drying. |
Reconstructive Surgery
|
|
Are also elemental to restoring soft tissue into areas of ablative
surgery and areas affected by radiation therapy and traumatic injury |
Myo-cutaneous Flaps
|
|
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons usually perform the repair of alveolar bone of the cleft,
usually when the patient is from 6 -12 years of age. Bone is grafted in to the cleft to facilitate eruption of the developing permanent teeth. |
Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery
|
|
includes lacerations, which may be minor or major. Treatment
involves debridement to remove non-vital tissue and foreign bodies, control of bleeding, re-approximation of lacerated margins and suturing |
Soft Tissue Trauma
|
|
are
manufactured by re-approximation of fractured segments, and fixation and stabilization. |
Bony trauma (fractures
|
|
may be done by placing metal arch bars on the upper and lower teeth, and using
these to wire the upper teeth and lower teeth together for four to six weeks. Other methods of fixation include bone screws, and external pin fixation devices |
Fixation
|
|
Infections which have spread beyond the confines of the mandible or maxilla into
contiguous fascial spaces usually require an incision and drainage procedure to allow the escape of purulent material. |
Management of Infections
|
|
Facial Plastic surgery procedures
|
Cosmetic Surgeries
|
|
Reconstruction or removal of tissue from the "eyelids"
|
Blepharoplasty
|
|
Revision of the nose
|
Rhinoplasty
|
|
Face Lifts
|
Rhytidectomies
|
|
Caustic removal of lines and wrinkles/scars from
the facial region |
Chemical Peels/Dermabrasion
|
