One of the most complex and developed fields in the world of medicine in general, and in dentistry in particular, is the field of oral rehabilitation. This is a field of medicine that is developing more and more over the years, and today we can benefit from a wide range of specialists and doctors who specialize in it, as well as a variety of devices and means that enable different types of treatments, which provide very high-quality results for each and every patient.
Many times when we think about oral rehabilitation, our basic assumption is that it is a rehabilitation that is required as a result of an accident or injury to the face that requires a rehabilitation process. This is not entirely accurate. Many people usually require rehabilitation processes as a result of birth defects or as a result of a natural facial appearance. In other words, they were born and developed in a certain way, which forces them to undergo a rehabilitation process in order to enjoy an aesthetic and pleasant facial appearance. Of course, there are people who give up on this and sometimes regret it later in life, so it is more difficult to deal with the problem.
Before we explain what exactly oral rehabilitation is and what it includes, it is important to note that it is not possible to approach such a process at every age. Since in the initial stage we grow baby teeth and only after they fall out do normal teeth come out, so we have to wait until all the teeth come out and their growth process is complete. Many times we also wait until a certain age when other age-related processes are completed and treatment can begin. This usually happens in adolescence.
What is oral rehabilitation and what does it include?
Oral Rehabilitation Treatments , are designed to restore teeth and jaws, changing their positions as needed, in order to provide us with a much more pleasant aesthetic appearance as well as better functional abilities.
For example, if a person undergoes an accident, injury, injury, inflammation and diseases that cause damage to the teeth or if he is born with a problematic jaw structure (for example, jaws that do not stand parallel to each other), then in each case, it is necessary to perform a restorative treatment that will ultimately allow the teeth to look much more beautiful and pleasant and will be able to use them naturally and well.
The treatment will include standard things such as root canal treatments, fillings, whitening, as well as more complex things such as the use of iron and arches, the use of braces, bridges, extractions and implant treatments. Naturally, before the treatment begins, the doctor will determine a plan and present it to his patients.
Who does oral rehabilitation treatment do?
Oral rehabilitation treatment usually requires a team of specialist doctors who specialize in this field. Many times there will be one doctor who will manage the program, and as needed, different doctors will be assisted to accompany and perform the various parts of the program. For example, if there is a need to perform a filling or something simple, then a regular dentist will be able to do it, but if there is a need for extractions, implants, and more complex things, then specialist doctors will do it.
In any case, the treatment will be accompanied by a team of doctors, each of whom will have a specific role according to his or her area of expertise.
