In an NCBI( National Centre for Biotechnology Information) report regarding whether people are aware of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in India, it is clearly stated that“Maxillofacial surgery is one of the most rapidly expanding specialties in India. There is however, low awareness regarding oral and maxillofacial surgery amongst the general people, practitioners and medical consultants”
This domain in dentistry is not very well-known in India but it is now gaining popularity with some of the best practitioners working in the country, who have gained high level of expertise and use state-of-the-art techniques to work miracles in the process of healing and correcting the facial and mandibular regions.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery, in simple words, is a procedure which deals with diseases, injuries and defects pertaining to the head, neck and maxillofacial (face and jaw) region. These are either congenital (such as cleft lip) or due to accidents/injuries that might disfigure teeth, jaws or impact nose bone.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are often confused with dentists. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons hold the highest position and licensure in dentistry as they are highly skilled surgeons who have undergone specialized additional training in treating complex dental and facial issues. Although they are more than qualified to perform simple procedures such as tooth extraction, these dentists largely focus on the complex issues.
Although the list can be quite exhaustive, here are some major areas where one might require a consultation from an OMS:
These surgeries are quite sensitive due to patients facing high levels of stress, burnout, sometimes failed marriages, depression or substance abuse. Naturally, it is important for oral and maxillofacialsurgeons to provide utmost care not only in terms of surgery but also for the emotional trauma associated with it.
