Tumors and cysts in the jaw
Tumors and cysts of the jaw are medical conditions that may require specialized surgical intervention. Oral and maxillofacial surgery focuses on treating these problems affecting the upper and lower jaws and the tissues surrounding the mouth. Procedures range from removing benign or malignant tumors to treating cysts that may be filled with fluid or abnormal tissue.
This surgery encompasses several procedures, including tumor removal, cyst drainage, and reconstruction of damaged tissue. In some cases, the patient may require orthognathic surgery or jawbone adjustments to improve skeletal alignment. The surgery demands a high level of skill from specialized surgeons and is typically followed by a period of rest and medical follow-up to ensure complete recovery and prevent complications.
