What does the Department of Oral Rehabilitation treat

There are various departments in the hospital, and different departments treat different types of diseases. The Department of Oral Rehabilitation is one of the more important departments. The Department of Oral Rehabilitation mainly provides restorative treatment for oral problems such as tooth defects, edentulous defects, missing teeth, maxillofacial defects, periodontal disease, and temporomandibular joint disorder. If you have the above needs, you may as well go to the Department of Oral Rehabilitation for treatment.

General tooth defects can be treated by filling. However, if the tooth defect is severe, the remaining tooth tissue is weak and cannot provide good retention for the filling, the remaining tooth itself and the filling cannot reach sufficient strength, or in order to achieve higher aesthetic requirements, filling treatment alone cannot achieve satisfactory results, then restorative treatment should be used.

The main treatment methods for repairing tooth defects include inlays, partial crowns, full crowns (metal crowns, metal-ceramic crowns, all-ceramic crowns), post and core crowns, etc.

2. Restorative treatment of edentulous teeth

After partial tooth loss, the treatment methods that can be used include removable partial dentures, fixed dentures (fixed bridges), overdentures, implant dentures, etc.

After all teeth are lost, the recommended treatment options for the mandible are, in order of priority, implant-supported overdentures, implant-supported fixed dentures, and conventional complete dentures. The recommended treatment options for the maxilla are: conventional complete dentures, implant-supported overdentures, and fixed dentures.

4. Restorative treatment of maxillofacial defects

The methods of repairing maxillofacial defects include: palatal guards (also called surgical blockers), jaw guides, and prostheses (artificial jaws, artificial eyes, artificial ears, and artificial noses. Prostheses supported and retained by implants often have the best therapeutic effects).

The methods of restorative treatment for periodontitis mainly include adjustment, orthodontic correction and periodontal splinting.

6. Restorative treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders

The main restorative treatment methods for temporomandibular joint disorder include: occlusal adjustment, occlusal pads (bite splints), and also fixed restorations and removable dentures.
