Maxillofacial surgery is a specialized field of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of diseases, injuries and irregularities in the area of the mouth, face, jaws and neck. This branch of medicine combines the knowledge of oral surgery, cosmetic surgery, otorhinolaryngology and the necessary medical education to provide patients with comprehensive treatment. Examinations by a specialist in maxillofacial surgery are of key importance for the diagnosis and treatment of numerous conditions that can significantly affect the quality of life of patients.
The first step towards solving maxillofacial problems is a visit to a specialist. The primary purpose of an examination with a maxillofacial surgeon is diagnosis. Commonly diagnosed problems include facial and jaw injuries, tumors, cysts, infections, congenital anomalies such as cleft lip and palate, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems that can cause pain and difficulty chewing and speaking. Based on the diagnostic findings, the specialist will develop a treatment plan that may include medical therapy, surgical procedures, or a combination of these approaches.
Examinations at the Jović Polyclinic are performed by prof. Dr. Nebojša Jović, specialist in maxillofacial surgery with many years of experience at the Academy of Medical Sciences.
