MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEON

The surgeon, after conducting a medical interview and taking the necessary photos before the procedure, determines the time and changes that occur. The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia.
It involves the removal of lesions from the maxilla, mandible or changes in the oral mucosa. Depending on the size of the cyst, its removal is often combined with tooth extraction or resection of the roots of adjacent teeth. During the procedure, the cyst is enucleated together with the epithelium, , and bone defects that may occur during its removal are supplemented with bone substitute material or, if possible, material obtained from the patient.
After each procedure, the lesion is sent for histopathological examination to determine the nature of the lesion and also to make an appropriate diagnosis.

Sinus Lift is a procedure that increases the amount of bone tissue. This allows implants to be inserted in areas where bone atrophy is most common. These are the posterior segments of the jaw. Performing a sinus lift involves placing bone material over the bone defect.
As a result, it allows for bone growth, and after about 6 months, i.e. the time of integration of the bone graft material, the introduction of implants of the appropriate length.
Bone regeneration as well as the sinus lift procedure is designed to rebuild bone tissue where there are deficiencies. A special membrane is also used when the surgeon inserts the bone material. This is a membrane that is designed to protect the inserted bone graft material from soft tissue ingrowth. After a period of 3 – 6 months, the site is ready to begin implant-prosthetic treatment.

Eights are otherwise known as wisdom teeth. Their growth causes pain and discomfort, especially if they grow in the wrong position. Improperly growing wisdom teeth cause the risk of inflammation and damage to the structure of the adjacent teeth by exerting pressure on their roots.
Removal of wisdom teeth is carried out by a surgeon or, depending on the position of the tooth, by a maxillofacial surgeon. After taking an X-ray and evaluating the tooth, the doctor performs local anesthesia on the patient. The dentist incises the gum and removes the piece of bone that covers the wisdom tooth. Then he separates the roots of the tooth using appropriate drills. When the roots are loosened the tooth is removed with forceps.
The procedure ends with placement of a few stitches. The surgeon recommends a check-up after 7 – 10 days in order to remove the stitches and assess the healing of the site after the procedure. In addition, the patient is given an antibiotic and analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate inflammation, improve healing and reduce pain.

This is a branch of dental surgery that deals with the removal of inflammation and the regeneration of intraosseous cavities around teeth. Periosurgical treatment includes bone grafting with bone materials and membranes, gum and bone plication, covering gingival recessions, crown lengthening (this applies to patients with the so-called Gummy Smile) and SRP procedures – closed and open curettage.

Corticotomy is a procedure performed in orthodontic treatment to reduce bone resistance during tooth movement. It often allows for the shifting of teeth into spaces left by extractions performed many years ago. The procedure is aimed at adults who are resistant to tooth movement during orthodontic treatment and when the bone is hard and less flexible.
