Bone tumours
Benign bone tumours (ameloblastoma), which has lead to the resorption of the root of the teeth and the lower jaw bone.
Condition after removing the tumour and two teeth with resorbed roots and reconstruction of the lower jaw defect with bone taken from the cranial roof and two dental implants.
Besides the tumours that can occur in any other region of the organism, there are specific benign and malignant tumours that grow exclusively in the region of the jaw and mouth.
Benign tumours
Benign tumours of the jaw are operated upon exclusively through the oral cavity (oral access), to avoid disfigurement of the face, damages to the facial nerves and visible scars. In the case of benign tumours, a definitive reconstruction of the removed sections of the jaw is done almost always, and this without leaving any external scars.
Malignant tumours
Malignant tumours, especially in the region of the upper jaw, can be removed using the special access methods developed at the Klinik Professor Sailer, without any externally visible scars.
