What Is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a specialized field that covers the diagnosis, treatment, and reconstruction of problems affecting the jawbone, joints, soft tissues, and teeth. This discipline includes advanced procedures such as impacted wisdom tooth extraction,  jaw cyst removal, bone grafting, implant surgery, and orthognathic surgery.
At DentMax, all surgical planning is performed digitally, and anatomical safety margins are determined with the highest level of precision.

Benefits of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Pain-free and controlled operation: With  digital anesthesia technology, procedures are performed comfortably without needles.

• High imaging precision: Dental tomography and iMetric 4D systems allow surgical planning with millimetric accuracy.

• PRF-assisted healing: Growth factors derived from the patient’s own blood accelerate tissue regeneration.

• Minimal infection risk: Sterile surgical environments and laser-assisted cleaning ensure maximum safety.

• Functional and aesthetic balance: Jaw symmetry, joint harmony, and dental alignment are restored to their natural form.

• Ideal pre-implant preparation: Bone grafting, closed sinus lifting, or block grafting create a strong foundation for implant placement.

• Comprehensive treatment integration: Collaboration among the orthodontics, endodontics, and periodontics departments ensures holistic, multidisciplinary care.

How the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Process Works

Stage 1 – Digital Imaging and Diagnosis
The process begins with CBCT (Cone Beam CT) and clinical examination. The jawbone structure, sinus cavities, and vascular anatomy are examined in detail.

Stage 2 – Surgical Planning
Depending on the patient’s needs, procedures such as impacted tooth extraction, cyst removal, bone grafting, sinus lifting, or orthognathic surgery are selected. All planning is supported by digital orthodontic measurements and iTero® scanning systems.

Stage 3 – Operation and Application
Surgeries are performed in a sterile clinical environment using  digital anesthesia and microsurgical instruments. When necessary, PRF membranes, bone grafts, or biological membranes are applied to promote healing.

Stage 4 – Recovery and Follow-Up
Following surgery, PRF therapy is applied to accelerate healing. Recovery is monitored digitally with scheduled follow-ups, and patients receive detailed post-operative care instructions.
