[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Maxillofacial surgery<\/strong>\u00a0is a medical specialty that involves knowledge and methods from medicine and dentistry, applied to the anatomical region of the head and neck.<\/p>\n

The complex term maxillofacial originates from two Latin words, maxilla – jaw and facies-face. In some parts of the world, the term\u00a0cranio-maxillofacial surgery<\/strong>\u00a0is used since this activity also includes operations on the head and skull vault (lat. cranium).<\/p>\n

In the USA, South America and in many parts of Asia, this activity is called\u00a0oral and maxillofacial surgery<\/strong>, which implies that oral cavity and dental operations also belong to this surgical branch.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]In these areas, the domain of maxillofacial surgery<\/strong> includes the following disciplines:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”]

Procedures in the domain of this surgical field are performed to correct and replace functional and aesthetic defects of the jaws and facial bones.<\/p>\n

Some patients are born with an excessively protruding lower jaw (prognathism) or with an underdeveloped one (retrognathism). In patients with these deformities, surgical interventions are performed with the aim of establishing a harmonious relationship of all facial parts.<\/p>\n

Facial deformities can also be the result of trauma: an injury in sports, a traffic accident, a blow with a blunt object or a fall. Injuries at work can also involve the facial region and be the cause of significant anomalies in the horizontal and vertical planes of the face.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
