Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
“Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is the specialty of dentistry which includes the opinion, surgical and spare treatment of conditions, injuries and blights involving both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region.” Oral and Maxillofacial surgery is an internationally honored surgical specialty. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is formally designated as either a medical, dental or binary (medical and dental) specialty. As with all surgery, applicable warnings for all cases should include the threat of pain, swelling, bleeding, bruising and infection. Several oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures beget pain, most probably in the postoperative period, when the healing process commences.
