Diagnosis Methods And Investigations
Imaging And Surgical Planning
Diagnosis involves detailed imaging and clinical evaluation to identify underlying bone and soft tissue issues.
Advanced planning ensures precise, customized surgical intervention.
- Imaging:: CT scans and panoramic X-rays provide detailed 3D visualization.
- Lab tests:: Preoperative blood tests ensure safety during anesthesia and recovery.
- Digital models assist in planning reconstruction and prosthetic placement.
Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques
Depending on the case, treatment can range from minor oral surgery to complex facial reconstruction.
Minimally invasive methods are used whenever possible.
- Conservative:: Minor procedures such as cyst removal or simple tooth extraction.
- Minimally invasive options:: Endoscopic-assisted surgeries reduce recovery time and scarring.
