- Oral and maxillofacial surgery (oral and maxillofacial surgery) is a surgical treatment-based study of oral organs "(tooth, alveolar bone, lip, cheek, tongue, palate, pharynx, etc.), facial soft tissue, and maxillofacial bones ( The prevention and treatment of maxillary, mandible, sacrum, etc.), temporomandibular joint, salivary gland and some related diseases of the neck are the main subjects.
- Like other medical specialties, oral and maxillofacial surgery is a medical branch that is gradually developed and formed in practice.
- As with medical development, ancient stomatology is often associated with religion, gods, and power. For example, in the 2nd century BC, half-reliefs of ancient India had giants depicting people pulling their teeth; so far in some foreign dental schools, the god of toothache can be seen, and ancient people have been punished after extraction and wrong tooth extraction .
- In the 4th century BC, in the writings of the famous ancient Greek medical scientist Hippocartes, there were records about the treatment of jaw fractures, dislocations, and tooth extractions. Later the Persian Rages (850-923 AD) used osmic acid as a topical medicine to assist in tooth extraction.
- In the 11th century, the famous Arab scientist Abulcasis (1050-1122) made the greatest contribution to oral surgery. In his work, he described and designed a complete set of dental surgical instruments, and advocated the use of copper sulfate powder to stop bleeding. He is also said to have been involved in cleft lip surgery. In the years that followed, Amatus Lusitanus (1554), J. F. Dieffenbach (1794 ~ 1847), and TNman W. Broghy (1848 ~ 1928) and other surgeons have made historic contributions to cleft lip and palate repair.
