What types of facial trauma can Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons treat?
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons specialize in managing and treating a wide range of facial injuries, including lacerations, fractured teeth, broken jaws, facial bone fractures, knocked-out teeth, and intraoral lacerations. These injuries often result from accidents, falls, automobile crashes, and other forms of trauma.
What does the process of facial trauma reconstruction involve?
Reconstructing facial trauma may involve procedures such as wiring or placing small plates and screws to stabilize fractured bones, suturing soft tissue lacerations, and re-implanting or splinting knocked-out or displaced teeth. Depending on the severity of the injury, root canal therapy or prosthetic tooth implants may also be required to restore functionality and aesthetics.
