It is a field of expertise that covers surgical procedures for bones, teeth, soft tissues and pathological formations in the mouth and jaw region.
Tooth and Impacted Tooth Extractions: Teeth that require extraction due to reasons such as decay, infection, or impaction are surgically removed under local or general anesthesia.
Jaw Cysts: Cysts, which are usually asymptomatic and detected late, are surgically removed. If left untreated, they can cause jawbone damage.
Jaw Tumors: Tumors, whether benign or malignant, are surgically removed. Diagnosis is made by pathological examination.
Apicalectomy: It is a surgical root tip cleaning procedure performed on teeth with chronic infection at the root tip.
Abscesses and Infections: Oral abscesses and jaw infections can have serious systemic consequences if left untreated. Initially, drainage and antibiotics may be necessary, followed by root canal treatment or extraction.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) It is a movable structure that connects the lower jaw to the skull. Disorders in this joint cause pain and loss of function affecting the chewing muscles.
Pain when opening the mouth, clicking sound, jaw locking
Pain in the face, ear, head and neck area
Difficulty chewing, jaw stiffness in the morning
There may be symptoms such as changes in the closing of the teeth and facial asymmetry.
The reasons are

Teeth clenching/grinding, stress, orthodontic disorders
Rheumatic and autoimmune diseases
There may be developmental or degenerative diseases of the joint.
While mild cases are treated with conservative or minimally invasive methods, advanced cases may require surgical treatment:
Cosmetic dentistry is a field that aims to achieve aesthetic and functional results by improving the appearance of teeth and gums. This field treats tooth decay, wear and tear, discoloration, fractures, deformities, and mild misalignments.

Impacted ToothImpacted teeth are teeth that remain in the jawbone and cannot come out into the mouth even though the time has come for them to erupt. The most common impacted teethare wisdom teeth, canines, and third molars.
Reasons:
jaw stenosis
Tooth development in the wrong direction
Gum or bone obstructions
Symptoms:
Swelling, pain, jaw locking
Pressure and crowding on neighboring teeth
Infection, cyst formation
Treatment: It is usually removed surgically. Early intervention reduces the risk of complications.
