Abstract

The present paper considers the role of orthodontic treatment and prosthetics in the recovery period after surgical treatment of an injury to the maxillofacial area. Analyzing the sources within the framework of the research topic, the author cconcludes tthat surgical treatment of maxillofacial trauma and postoperative rehabilitation often requires an interdisciplinary approach, which makes it a difficult task. This is due to the fact that these injuries usually affect several structures of the oral cavity and face, including hard and soft tissues, often causing malocclusion. Thus, the clinical picture and the appropriate treatment strategy may vary greatly from one person to another. Therefore, before drawing up a final treatment plan, a thorough and thoughtful multidisciplinary assessment of each patient is necessary.

Maxillofacial injury is considered an important health problem worldwide. Such injuries most often have significant financial consequences and lead to deformation of the aesthetics of the face, loss of function and an increase in the number of other health problems. Another problem that the patient faces due to injuries of the maxillofacial area is psychological trauma [1].
