Area of specialisation
Treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders
Most disorders of the temporomandibular joint can be successfully treated conservatively (medication, including Botox, splints, physiotherapy, PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) injections).
If surgery is necessary, it can often be performed using a minimally invasive arthroscopic technique. This ‘keyhole technique’ allows various operations to be performed.
Some conditions require open surgery on the temporomandibular joint, which may involve replacement with state-of-the-art temporomandibular joint endoprostheses.
Correction of maxillary and facial asymmetries
Facial asymmetries may be pre-existing or appear after an accident.
Corrections depend on functional and aesthetic conditions and are performed by means of orthognathic surgery (upper/lower jaw displacement, chin correction) or soft tissue corrections. Surgical corrections of the nose (called septorhinoplasty) may also be indicated in these cases.
