What is Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery?
Oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery; It is a specialty that deals with the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases, deformities and traumas that occur in the teeth, jaw bones and soft tissues of the mouth. It covers a wide area of intervention from buried tooth extraction to repair of jaw fractures, from dental implant applications to orthognathic surgery. This area, which allows the elimination of aesthetic concerns as well as functional problems, requires a multidisciplinary approach. As Aile Dental Polyclinic, our Sancaktepe and Kartal branches in Istanbul offer personalized treatment plans supported by modern technology in this field; With our specialist physicians, we aim to have a healthy and comfortable smile for each of our patients.
In which situations is oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery necessary?
Oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery; It is a special field of dentistry that intervenes not only in aesthetics, but also in functional and health-critical situations. From buried teeth to jaw fractures, from advanced infections to tumoral formations, many serious conditions require surgical treatment.
Family dental clinic, is producing solutions to such cases in its modern clinics in Istanbul Sancaktepe and Kartal with its experienced physician staff. We offer our patients a safe and effective treatment, especially with digital imaging-supported diagnostic processes and personalized surgical planning.
Embedded tooth problems
Im buried teeth are teeth that are completely or partially stuck in the jaw bones, not erupted. The most common buried teeth are the third molars, known as the twenty-year-old teeth. These teeth can cause infection, jaw shifts, other teeth under pressure and cyst formation.
Family Dental in Sancaktepe and Kartal branches, embedded teeth are evaluated with advanced imaging techniques such as digital x-rays and CBCT. embedded tooth extraction, Exp. dt. Hatice Erkin and dt. Aysegul Akmese It is performed by our experienced dentists such as comfortable and minimally invasive surgery.
Embedded tooth symptoms:
Difficulty opening mouth
Pain or swelling of the face
Impairment in alignment of other teeth
Smell and taste change
Exp. dt. Hatice Erkin’s comment:
“Embedded teeth are often silent. It is not noticed without a radiological examination. As a family tooth, we examine the jaw map of each of our patients in detail.”
Advanced gums and infections
Some gingival diseases cannot be solved with superficial cleaning alone. Advanced infections can spread to the jawbone and even to the sinus region. In such cases, surgical intervention may be required.
Family in Tooth In such cases, the process, which begins with antibiotic treatment, continues with root tip resection, cyst discharge or surgical removal of infected tissues when necessary.
Infections requiring surgical intervention:
abscess and fistula formation
Upper jaw infections spread across the sinus region
Cystitis around the root
Complaints that do not go away despite root canal treatment
How does the treatment process work in the family dental?
| Stage | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Examination | Gum and root circumference is examined in detail. |
| Visualization | Periapical or CBCT imaging |
| Intervention | Root tip resection, drainage, cyst removal |
| Follow-up | Healing process and periodic control |
Basic surgical interventions
Oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery is not just a branch; It is a wide range of interventions that require expertise. Many different procedures, from removal of buried teeth to bone graft procedures, from implant applications to tumor surgery, fall into this area. As Family Dental Clinic, we carry out these interventions with our experienced staff in the light of scientific guides.
Detailed evaluation is made before all procedures; A treatment plan is created by considering radiological imaging, systemic disease screening and the patient’s general health status. When necessary, it is worked in cooperation with orthodontists, periodontologists or radiologists.
How are embedded tooth operations done?
Im buried teeth are teeth that are usually stuck in the jawbone and cannot erupt spontaneously. It is especially common in wisdom teeth. Surgical removal both prevents serious problems that may occur in the future and protects the health of the jaw.
Tooth operations buried in the Family Tooth are planned by supporting three-dimensional imaging techniques such as CBCT. The operation is usually performed under local anesthesia. dt. Ayşegül Akmeşe and Dt. Experienced dentists such as Yasin Turgut perform surgery with minimally invasive techniques.
The pre- and post-surgical process:
Detailed radiological evaluation
Patient is informed on the day of the operation
Supported with prescription drugs after the procedure
Controlled follow-up process is carried out for swelling and pain monitoring
Dental implant process and success factors
Dental implant applications are carried out by placing titanium screws in the jawbone in order to complete the missing teeth functionally and aesthetically. However, the suitability for each patient should be evaluated in advance.
The implantation process in Family Dent is not limited to the implant placement process. Chief Physician Dt. Under the leadership of Kerem Özgüler, all steps are carried out carefully, from the planning stage to the long-term follow-ups.
Key factors affecting success:
Bone density and volume
Systemic diseases (diabetes, osteoporosis, etc.)
smoking
Oral hygiene and patient compliance
Physician experience and implant system used
Treatment process:
| Stage | Application |
|---|---|
| Examination | Clinical and radiological analysis |
| Planning | Bone condition is evaluated |
| Operation | Implant placement with local anesthesia |
| Improvement | Bone junction process between 2-4 months |
| Prosthesis | Treatment is completed by placing the superstructure |
Bone graft and sinus lifting applications
If there is not enough bone volume in the area where the implant will be applied, surgical bone formation procedures may be required. This procedure is performed by bone graft (bone powder or block bone) and sinus lifting operations.
bone graft, while applying in the lower jaw; Sinus LiftingIt is made by moving the sinus cavity up in the upper jaw. In Aile Dent, these procedures are performed with microscopic precision and advanced surgical techniques.
Common graft types:
Autogenous graft (bone taken from the patient)
Allogen graft (human origin)
Xenogreft (animal origin)
Synthetic graft (artificial)

Cyst and tumor surgeries
cysts and tumors seen in the jaw bones and soft tissues of the mouth; There may be tooth origin, salivary glands, or different pathological formations. The first step in treatment is the correct diagnosis. By taking a biopsy, a benign or malignant distinction is made.
Exp. dt. Hatice Erkin Family tooth led byThe aim of surgical procedures performed in 2 is to completely remove the lesion and restructure the region. After surgery, patients are followed up for a long time.
Example Status:
Cysts of tooth origin (odontogenic)
salivary gland tumors
Intra-bone benign tumors (ameloblastoma)
Suspicious lesions (analysis by biopsy)
Aesthetic and functional balance with orthognathic surgery
Orthognatic surgery is a corrective surgery performed for the correct positioning of the lower and upper jaw bones. This operation is carried out not only as an aesthetic intervention, but also to improve chewing, speech and respiratory functions. It is planned together with orthodontic treatment in patients with advanced jaw structure and covers a long-term process.
As a family dental polyclinic, surgical procedures in this area; We plan the jaw structure, facial symmetry, orthodontic needs and the general health of the patient. In our centers in Sancaktepe and Kartal, the process is carried out transparently by establishing one-on-one communication with the patient during the treatment process.
Who is the jaw correction surgery applied to?
Orthognatic surgery is applied to patients with congenital or developmental jaw disorders. This surgery is recommended in cases where the lower jaw is too far or too far behind, the jaw is sliding to the side or the upper jaw is not developed enough. Individuals with significant facial asymmetry, chewing disorders and closing problems despite long-term orthodontic treatment may be candidates for this surgery.
The treatment plan is a process that is usually carried out by the orthodontist and the chin surgeon together. First, the teeth are aligned, then the jawbone is cut and brought to its new position by surgical procedure. Although the recovery time varies depending on the person, it is completed between 4 and 6 weeks on average.
Pre-operative orthodontic preparation
Before starting orthognathic surgery, the patient’s teeth should be in the correct position. For this reason, it is usually applied before an orthodontic treatment that lasts for 12-18 months. After the position of the teeth is fixed, the date for the surgical operation is planned.
In this process, it is of great importance that the patient is patient and continues to check regularly. Family dentists Dt. Yasin Turgut explains the effect of the orthodontic process on success before maxillofacial surgery as follows:
Exp. dt. Hatice Erkin’s comment: “Maximizing efficiency from the surgeon depends on the complete completion of the orthodontic preparation. In a case where the teeth are not aligned correctly, surgical success can be limited.”
Healing process and expectations
During the first few weeks after orthognathic surgery, swelling, difficulty in chewing and mild pain can be seen in the face area. However, this situation is temporary. Fluid nutrition is recommended in the first days and exercise programs given by the doctor are applied. It is expected to return to normal functions in about a month.
The clearest results in terms of aesthetics are usually observed as of the second month. Family Dent’s expert team meticulously accompanies every control of the patient in this process, and follows the course of recovery with necessary x-rays and examinations.
