Maxillofacial trauma treatment involves managing injuries to the face, jaw, and surrounding oral structures caused by accidents, trauma, or surgical procedures. The goal of this treatment is to restore both the function and aesthetic appearance of the affected areas.
Treatment often includes surgery to repair fractures, dislocations, and soft tissue injuries. It may involve the use of plates, screws, or wires to stabilize bone fractures, followed by tissue repair for lacerations or damage to the gums and skin.
Depending on the severity of the injury, the procedure may require multiple stages, including bone grafting, dental implant placement, or cosmetic surgery to ensure full restoration.
Maxillofacial trauma treatment aims to return the patient to normal function, alleviate pain, and prevent long-term complications such as misalignment, scarring, or impaired jaw function.
