Jaw Dislocation after Buccal Surgery

2024-09-27 15:54:09
My father recently had surgery on his face. During the surgery, the long stretch of his jaw moved out of its joints. It has been 2 months since the surgery, and all the teeth on the lower back jaw (molars, premolars, and wisdom teeth) have been removed. Is there any chance of relocating it? The doctors have attempted to relocate it multiple times without success, which has led to permanent dislocation of one side of the jaw. Is there any non-surgical way to fix it?

Hello, Do consult an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for further examination of the case. And as per the history given by you it might require surgical intervention to resolve the issue.

Dear I understand your concern about your father's jaw dislocation post-surgery. Non-surgical options: 1. Physical therapy: Jaw exercises and manual therapy. 2. Splint therapy: Custom-made splints to stabilize and align the jaw. 3. Orthodontic treatment: Teeth alignment to improve jaw positioning. 4. Prosthetic devices: Custom-made appliances to support the jaw. Surgical options: 1. Arthroscopy: Minimally invasive surgery to repair or replace damaged tissue. 2. Arthroplasty: Joint replacement or reconstruction. 3. Orthognathic surgery: Correcting jaw alignment. Consult: 1. Oral and maxillofacial surgeon. 2. Orthodontist. Evaluations needed: 1. Imaging (CT, MRI, or X-rays). 2. Bite analysis. 3. Facial and jaw examination. Success depends on: 1. Severity of dislocation. 2. Duration since surgery. 3. Overall health. Consider seeking a second opinion from a specialized center. Best regards, Dr. Pratikshit Anand Additional guidance: - Document your father's treatment history and attempts. - Ask about potential complications and recovery time. - Explore pain management options. For personalized advice, consult specialized professionals.

Dear patient, A good physical examination is required to comment on possible treatment options, kindly consult an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for the same. Since you've mentioned frequent dislocation , in my opinion , non surgical procedures would lead to re-dislocation. Take care.

First trying manually placing it in position. Since 2 months is a long time. Muscles are stretched for a long time. Placing it back is tough task. If frequent dislocation is there then surgical and non surgical ways are there
