Maxillofacial Surgery
Maxillofacial Surgery
Understand the scope of Oral and maxillofacial surgery, the questions to ask and the public profiles connected to this field of care.
Overview
Understanding the Specialty
Oral and maxillofacial surgery covers several possible care pathways. The appropriate assessment, alternatives, expected benefits, risks and follow-up depend on each person’s health and must be discussed with a qualified professional. Elysium Guide provides orientation and does not diagnose or recommend a treatment.
Related Procedures

Jaw surgery and facial trauma2
Orthognathic surgery
Orthognathic surgery repositions one or both jaws to address skeletal discrepancy, bite and function, usually with orthodontic planning. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Facial fracture repair
Facial fracture repair aims to restore bone alignment, bite, eye support and facial function using reduction and fixation when required. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Oral and dentoalveolar surgery7
Wisdom tooth removal
Wisdom tooth removal may require gum incision, bone removal or tooth sectioning depending on position and nearby nerves. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Oral biopsy
An oral biopsy removes a small sample from a mouth or jaw lesion for laboratory diagnosis; biopsy type and site depend on the lesion. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Apicoectomy
Apicoectomy treats a selected infection around a tooth-root tip by accessing the root through the gum and removing affected tissue. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Coronectomy
Coronectomy removes the crown of a selected wisdom tooth while intentionally retaining roots when complete removal may carry greater nerve risk. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Exposure of an impacted canine
Surgical exposure uncovers an impacted canine so an orthodontic attachment can help guide it into position when appropriate. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Jaw cyst surgery
Jaw cyst surgery may biopsy, open or remove a cyst while protecting teeth, nerves and surrounding bone; the exact plan depends on pathology and size. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Jaw bone graft
Jaw bone grafting adds autologous or substitute material to restore selected bone volume for reconstruction, a cleft or implant-related planning. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
TMJ and salivary glands5
TMJ arthrocentesis or arthroscopy
TMJ arthrocentesis washes the joint through needles, while arthroscopy adds a small camera and selected intra-articular treatment. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Open TMJ surgery
Open TMJ surgery accesses the joint through an incision to repair, reposition or remove selected joint tissues when less invasive options are insufficient. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Total TMJ replacement
Total TMJ replacement substitutes selected jaw-joint surfaces with a prosthetic system and requires device traceability and long-term follow-up. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Sialendoscopy
Sialendoscopy passes a small endoscope through a salivary duct to inspect and sometimes treat a stone or narrowing while preserving the gland. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Salivary gland excision
Salivary gland excision removes part or all of a selected gland for a defined obstruction, inflammation or tumour; nearby nerves differ by gland. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Oncology, reconstruction and craniofacial6
Oral cancer resection
Oral or jaw cancer resection removes tumour with a planned margin and may affect speech, swallowing, appearance, teeth and the need for reconstruction. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Neck dissection
Neck dissection removes selected lymph nodes and tissues as part of head-and-neck cancer management; extent and functional effects vary. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Microvascular head and neck reconstruction
Microvascular reconstruction transfers tissue with its blood vessels to rebuild selected head-and-neck structures after tumour, trauma or tissue loss. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Cleft lip and palate surgery
Cleft lip and palate surgery comprises age- and anatomy-specific operations within a long-term multidisciplinary pathway for feeding, speech, hearing, teeth and facial growth. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Alveolar bone grafting
Alveolar bone grafting restores bone in the dental arch at a cleft site to support teeth, the nasal base and later dental planning. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
Craniosynostosis surgery
Craniosynostosis surgery releases and reshapes selected skull bones to address premature suture fusion within a specialist paediatric craniofacial pathway. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
