About the department
The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Catholic Clinic Koblenz-Montabaur offers all the options of modern surgical treatment for diseases and defects of the jaws, face, and hard and soft oral and maxillofacial tissues. Patients with oral and maxillofacial tumors and injuries, chronic inflammatory processes and cysts in the maxillary sinuses, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction are at the center of the attention of the department's doctors. The medical facility also provides high-quality services in the fields of dental surgery and dental implantology. Both planned and emergency interventions are available here. The department's surgeons have a perfect command of all classical and advanced surgical techniques. When planning a surgical procedure, the department's specialists strive not only to eliminate the pathology or defect but also to maintain the normal functionality of the operated area, such as chewing, swallowing, and speech. The aesthetic aspect also plays an important role. It should be noted that the department's oral and maxillofacial surgeons have advanced computer systems and 3D technologies at their command, which allow them to plan the course of the surgical intervention to the smallest detail and predict its result as accurately as possible. The Head Physician of the department is Dr. Dr. med. Michael Wiesend.
The department regularly admits patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction. This pathological condition causes impairments in the motor function of the jaw and speech activity and provokes a severe pain syndrome. The first-line treatment for temporomandibular joint dysfunction is drug therapy with painkillers and/or anti-inflammatory drugs and wearing a special splint to correct the bite. Good effects and pain management can also be achieved with the help of relaxation techniques (Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation technique and autogenic training), manual therapy, physiotherapy, and acupuncture. The department's doctors successfully use injection therapy with botulinum toxin to alleviate the pain syndrome caused by temporomandibular joint dysfunction. In complex cases, the patient may be indicated for arthrocentesis (puncture) followed by lavage (washing) of the temporomandibular joint. The last-line therapy is an arthroscopic procedure.
The team of the department's maxillofacial surgeons has unique competencies and vast experience in the treatment of oral and maxillofacial injuries, such as a busted lip, a torn eyelid, an injury on the nose due to a dog bite, deep facial lacerations, zygomatic fractures due to a blow to the face, broken jaws after a car accident, etc. When dealing with injuries of this kind, a doctor faces a complex task because he has to eliminate the traumatic injury while maintaining the functions of chewing, swallowing, and speech, as well as provide the patient with a good aesthetic result. In many cases, the department's specialists use microsurgical techniques, performing surgical manipulations with the help of an operating microscope and special miniature instruments.
The department also performs operations in the field of dental surgery. These are tooth extractions, including wisdom tooth extractions, root apex resection, removal of jaw bone cysts, and operations to fix loose teeth due to periodontitis. The department's patients are also offered the placement of dental implants using the most advanced technologies, materials, and equipment. The placement of single dental implants and both All-on-4 and All-on-6 prostheses is available here. Bone augmentation can be performed before dental implantation if required. The department has state-of-the-art 3D X-ray diagnostic systems that allow doctors to plan the optimal treatment and demonstrate its expected result.

- Surgery to remove benign and malignant oral and maxillofacial tumors
