What Exactly maxillofacial Surgery?

Maxillofacial surgery is a branch of dentistry. It entails procedures to correct diseases, injuries, and defects in your face, jaw, or mouth. Maxillofacial surgeons are highly trained specialists who diagnose and treat problems related to:

  • ·         Jaw and lower face bones and tissues (maxillofacial area).
  • ·         Your tongue's roof (palate).
  • ·         Teeth.


Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery:

A dental surgeon with advanced training performs maxillofacial surgery. A wide range of maxillofacial procedures can treat diseases, repair injuries, and correct defects in your face, jaw, or mouth. As with any operation, there are risks associated with maxillofacial surgery. However, the procedures help many people reduce pain, correct deformities, and regain function.

What is the purpose of maxillofacial surgery?      

Maxillofacial surgery is carried out to:

  • ·         Enhance jaw function.
  • ·         Pain relief
     Maxillofacial surgery can treat a wide range of dental issues and conditions, including:
  • ·         Identifying the causes of chronic dental pain.
  • ·         Getting your mouth ready for dental implants and prostheses (such as dentures).
  • ·         Putting in dental implants.
  • ·         Taking out (extracting) impacted teeth.
  • ·         Treat dental problems.

Procedures can also be used to treat jaw problems such as:

Bone grafting, or transplanting bone from another part of the body, is used to replace missing bone in the jaw.

  • ·         Correcting an abnormal bite by reconstructing your jaw.
  • ·         TMJ disorders, which affect the area where your lower jaw attaches to your skull, are treated.
  • ·         Treating injuries to your face, jaw, and mouth caused by trauma.
  • Other reasons for performing maxillofacial surgery are as follows:

·         Congenital (present at birth) abnormalities such as cleft lip and palate are corrected.

  • ·         Diagnosis and treatment of head and neck cysts, tumours, cancer, and other growths.
  • ·         Identifying the causes of chronic facial pain.
  • ·         Facial trauma (injury) treatment, such as facial fractures or damaged maxillofacial tissue.

What is the distinction between oral and maxillofacial surgery?

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are the same thing. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is covered in training, but some surgeons limit their practise to oral surgery and office-based procedures, while others prefer more hospital-based procedures.

How long does it take to recover from maxillofacial surgery?

The recovery time after maxillofacial surgery is determined by the procedure. For at least a few days, you should expect some discomfort, sensitivity, swelling, and bleeding. To keep you comfortable, your doctor may prescribe pain relievers.

  • ·         If you had stitches, they will either dissolve or be removed within a week.
  • ·         Certain foods and activities may have to be avoided for several days or weeks. Your healthcare provider will give you specific instructions, such as avoiding crunchy, chewy, or hard foods.
  • ·         Tobacco and alcohol should be avoided.
  • ·         Exercise should be avoided for a few days because it can exacerbate bleeding and swelling.
  • ·         Rest in order to avoid complications.
  • ·         To kill bacteria in the mouth, rinse your teeth instead of brushing them.

A text from the Cleveland Clinic:

Maxillofacial surgery is a procedure that corrects a disease, injury, or defect in your face, jaw, or mouth. Maxillofacial surgeons are advanced-trained dental specialists. They use a variety of procedures to relieve pain, correct deformities, and restore function to the lower face.

WHAT IS A PATHOLOGY REPORT?

Image
  Introduction: The characteristics of a tissue specimen removed from a patient are described in a pathology report, which is often referred to as a surgical pathology report. A pathologist, a medical professional with specialised expertise in diagnosing diseases by examining cells and tissues under a microscope, creates the pathology report. A pathology report contains details on the location and methods used to retrieve the material, as well as identifying information (such as the patient's name, birthdate, and biopsy date). A final diagnosis, a microscopic description, and a gross description —a description of the material as it appears to the naked eye—are often included. It might also have a section for the pathologist's observations. Typical terms that could be found on a pathology report for cancer include: ·         Invasive ·         Non-invasive ·         ...

Breast Pathology:

  Breast Pathology: The materials taken from your breast biopsy were examined under a microscope by a pathologist, a qualified physician with years of training. Your doctor receives a report from the pathologist that includes a diagnosis for each sample that was used. This report's information will be utilised to manage your care. The information provided here is aimed to make medical terms used in breast biopsy pathology reports, such as needle biopsy and excision biopsy, more understandable. There are numerous varieties of breast cancer, and it's crucial to correctly diagnose each one in order to choose the right course of action. The two major, encompassing groups of breast malignancies are carcinomas and sarcomas. Cancers called carcinomas develop from the breast's epithelial tissue. The cells that line the lobules and terminal ducts make up the epithelial component, which is responsible for producing milk under typical circumstances. The majority of breast ca...

What is Diagnostic Pathology?

Image
The cause of disease is determined by morphologic and/or clinical pathology findings, as well as history, clinical signs, and ancillary test results. It is essential in all areas of pathology, both naturally occurring and experimentally induced disease. It is critical in experimental studies to distinguish between the effects of spontaneous disease and those caused by the experimental agent/test article. Diagnostic pathology is required to investigate unexpected disease or death in laboratory animal colonies or before the study is terminated. Pathology will remain important in the veterinary diagnostic laboratory for the diagnosis and prevention of spontaneous, chemically-induced disease. The value of naturally occurring chemically-induced diseases as models should not be underestimated, as these cases frequently add critical information to our understanding of the mechanisms of toxicity of these and similar chemical groups. Introduction Historically, the histologic appe...
