Oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery is a comprehensive branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, injuries and structural disorders of the hard and soft tissues in the mouth, teeth, jaw and facial areas. This field covers a wide range of treatments from simple tooth extractions to advanced jaw surgery operations.

At BAU Dental Hospital, oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery is approached with a focus on diagnosis, treatment and scientific study for the oral and jaw problems of individuals of all age groups. The aim in this branch is not only to eliminate the patient's current complaint, but also to create a treatment plan that preserves chewing, speech, facial balance, jaw alignment and overall oral health integrity.

One of the most commonly known applications of this field is the extraction of impacted teeth. Especially when wisdom teeth cannot erupt in the proper position within the jaw, they can cause pain, infection, pressure on adjacent teeth and discomfort in the jaw structure. Oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery specialists draw up a surgical extraction plan in such cases based on the patient's clinical and radiological findings.

Dental implant applications are also among the major topics of jaw surgery. Implants placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth can offer a long-term solution to the patient in terms of function and aesthetics. In some cases, additional procedures such as bone augmentation, sinus floor elevation or preprosthetic surgery may be required prior to implant placement. These procedures ensure that the jawbone is made suitable for implant treatment.

The diagnosis and treatment of jaw cysts and tumours, traumatic dental and supporting tissue injuries, surgical treatment of jaw fractures and jaw joint diseases are also important areas within the scope of this branch. In addition, orthognathic surgery is performed to correct disorders in the skeletal structure of the jaw. While these treatments improve the patient's chewing and speech functions, they can also contribute to more balanced facial proportions.

At BAU Dental Hospital, oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery addresses the processes of diagnosis, planning, surgical application and follow-up as a whole. This approach offers a safe, systematic treatment experience tailored to the patient's needs.
