Department of Adult and Pediatric Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Specialized in: adult and pediatric oral and maxillofacial surgery About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at University Hospital Ulm
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University Hospital Ulm offers the full range of medical services in this medical field. The healthcare facility treats patients of all age groups, from infants to adults. The department specializes in comprehensive treatment for inflammatory diseases of the soft tissues and bones of the face and neck, soft tissue and bone injuries in the maxillofacial area and their complications, benign and malignant maxillofacial tumors, and congenital and acquired maxillofacial defects. The team of oral and maxillofacial surgeons has vast experience in the repair of cleft lip and palate in children. The department also offers top-class services in the field of dental implantology and successfully performs reconstructive and aesthetic plastic interventions in the face and neck. The department is equipped with a modern system for 3D computed tomography of the maxillofacial area. The CT scanner generates high-precision images, with the help of which the specialists can make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe the optimal treatment. Minor surgical interventions are performed in the department on an outpatient basis without a mandatory hospital stay. Extremely complex operations are thoroughly planned using modern computerized systems. Doctors from related specialties, including otolaryngologists, ophthalmologists, and dermatologists, are engaged in the therapeutic process, if necessary. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Dr. dent. Alexander Schramm.
An important focus of work for the department's oral and maxillofacial surgeons is the treatment of dentoalveolar diseases (dentoalveolar surgery). The specialists at the medical facility most often perform interventions for tooth extraction, including wisdom teeth and impacted teeth, resections for benign jaw and soft tissue neoplasms, tumors, or cysts, and procedures for alveolar ridge augmentation prior to dental implantation. At the planning stage of the intervention, the patient undergoes a set of laboratory tests, 3D computed tomography, and/or X-ray scanning. Dentoalveolar interventions are most often performed under local anesthesia. However, sedation may be used in some cases as well.
Dental implantology services are particularly popular in the department. Implant placement is the only method by which a lost tooth can be restored. In addition, the department offers modern implantation techniques such as All-on-4 and All-on-6 to restore the entire tooth row. The essence of the dental implantation procedure is as follows: an artificial root is implanted into the patient's jawbone, on which a crown or prosthesis is then placed. Dental implants are made of titanium and its alloys. This excludes rejection of the transplanted material because titanium is a biocompatible material. A huge advantage of dental implants is their long life, as quality implants can serve the patient for 25-30 years. In addition, the implant visually does not differ from the natural tooth and perfectly fulfills the chewing function. The procedure of dental implantation is performed under local anesthesia, so the patient does not feel any pain.
An integral part of the clinical practice of the department's oral and maxillofacial surgeons is carrying out operations to repair cleft lip and palate in children. This congenital deformity not only causes an aesthetic problem but also severe chewing, swallowing, and speech disorders. Doctors from related specialties, such as pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, and otolaryngologists, are engaged in treating children with cleft lip and palate. The surgical repair of this congenital deformity requires the following two operations: cleft lip repair is performed at the age of 3-6 months, and the second one, aimed at cleft palate repair, is usually performed at the age of 1-1.5 years. As the child grows, additional reconstructive plastic surgery may be required. The brilliant professional skills and experience of the department's surgeons guarantee the best treatment results.
The department's main clinical focuses include the following:
- Dentoalveolar surgery
- Dental implantology
- Aesthetic and reconstructive facial plastic surgery
- Surgical repair of cleft lip and palate in children
- Surgical repair of prognathism (distal bite)
- Surgical resection of benign and malignant oral and maxillofacial tumors (in interdisciplinary cooperation)
- Conservative and surgical treatment of oral and maxillofacial injuries, including multiple injuries
- Other medical services
