Surgery will remove your appendix after your infection has been treated. If you have a ruptured abscess or appendix, surgery may be needed right away. Surgery to remove the appendix is called an appendectomy. This procedure can be done as open surgery or laproscopically.
Oral and maxillofacial pathology (also termed oral pathology, stomatognathic disease, dental disease, or mouth disease) refers to the diseases of the mouth (oral cavity or stoma), jaws (maxillae or gnath) and related structures such as salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin (the skin around the mouth).
Overview. Maxillofacial prosthetics is a branch of dentistry that deals with congenital and acquired defects of the head and neck. Maxillofacial prosthetics integrates parts of multiple disciplines including head and neck oncology, congenital malformation, plastic surgery, speech, and other related disciplines. This article deals with restoration of acquired defects, which may be intraoral or extraoral. Intraoral defects may involve the mandible, tongue, soft palate, or hard palate, while extraoral defects may involve any other area of the head or neck. The image below depicts an example of maxillofacial prosthetics.
