Trauma to the head, face and neck region may need surgeries to reconstruct the normal anatomy and regain the patient’s appearance and function. These operations are performed by our chief surgeon Dr.Segin Chandran at Kamala Dental and also at other trauma centres in Thiruvananthapuram like PRS Hospital and GG Hospital. After surgical care, prosthetic rehabilitation of these patients involving the teeth and associated structures are carried out by our prosthodontic team.
Some people might have irregularly placed teeth and bite, or Temporomandibular Joint problems, sleep apnea, etc. due to skeletal deformities. At Kamala Dental, our maxillofacial surgeon andorthodontists work closely together to formulate a treatment plan using various feasibility studies and execute the same. The bone is modified and realigned to correct the deformity and the remaining correction is done with orthodontic treatment. The procedure will have long lasting and stable results for life.
Normal function of the temporomandibular joint or jaw joint may be affected by different conditions that results in clinical symptoms such as painful and restricted mouth opening, clicking sounds, orhabitual dislocation of the joint. Such disorders are diagnosed using advanced diagnostic aids at Kamala Dental and treated by conservative or surgical methods. Surgical options are compulsory for conditions like ankylosis that may need surgical removal of fused segments and reconstruction of joints.
Cleft lip and cleft palate are considered to be the second most common congenital deformities among the Indian population. The correction of these conditions in children or untreated adults is not only a cosmetic restoration but also a necessary procedure to close the cleft defect and restore normal function, thus allowing the facial structures to develop normally. We have a dedicated team of surgeons providing the best treatment possible with a multi-disciplinary approach. Our team includes a Maxillofacial Surgeon, an Orthodontist, a Pedodontist, an Otolaryngologist, an Auditory and Hearing Specialist, a Paediatrician, a Plastic Surgeon and a Psychologist along with social workers.

Resective and reconstructive surgeries in the head and neck region are done in the most sophisticated way here at Kamala Dental by adopting digital and advanced protocols.
