Oral and dentofacial surgery
The department of oral and dentofacial surgery covers diagnosis and treatment of benign and malign diseases of the oral cavity, the teeth and their surrounding tissue, treatment of injuries or fractures of the jaws and the facial bones as well as osteoplasty in case of badly-fitting dentures and implants for well-fitting dentures.
Patients are accommodated and nursed in cooperation with the department of otorhinolaryngology.
Regina Busch MD and Martin Horn MD are responsible for the treatment of handicapped patients and children in general anaesthesia, in particular. On 1 November 2001, the Institute for dental implantation (IZI) was opened. It is run by Roland Streckbein MD and Rainer Hassenpflug MD. The institute's services cover counsel and treatment of patients in the field of dental implantology as well as postgraduate studies for dentists in this new field of dentistry. The implantological courses are organised in cooperation with the German Society for Oral and Dentofacial Implantology (Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Implantologie im Zahn-, Mund- und Kieferbereich e.V., DGI). The contents are prescribed by the DGI. Until the end of 2002, more than 600 dentists from all over Germany have taken part in the IZI's courses.
