Traumatology and reconstructive maxillofacial surgery

Thus, simultaneously with the fixation of bone fragments of the facial skeleton, oral and maxillofacial surgery in Gilbert AZ is performed to restore the anatomical shape of the orbit, nose, and jaws. In some cases, osteo-synthesis is needed for dental implantation, followed by direct prosthetics. For this purpose, there are different reconstructive titanium implants.

This method can significantly improve the results of treatment without the use of free bone auto-grafts. When removing large jaw tumors, as well as ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint, dental specialists are now actively using titanium implants made for preoperative preparation. These CAD / CAM-technologies are vastly improving the chances of success. In fact, these various methods allows a complete reconstruction of the jaw without additional oral and maxillofacial surgery in Gilbert AZ and thus reduce the trauma a patient has in the postoperative period.
