Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a specialised field of dentistry concerned with diagnosing and treating diseases, injuries and abnormalities affecting the oral and facial regions. Surgical treatment may be required for impacted teeth, jaw disorders, facial injuries and other complex dental conditions.
Impacted wisdom tooth removal is one of Dr. Amit Kumar Roy's published areas of expertise. Wisdom teeth that do not emerge properly may cause pain, swelling, infection or damage to neighbouring teeth. Surgical evaluation helps determine whether removal is necessary.

Dr. Amit Kumar Roy has documented expertise in maxillofacial trauma and facial fracture management. Injuries affecting the jaw and facial bones may require clinical examination, diagnostic imaging and surgical treatment depending on their severity.

Oral pathology involves the assessment of abnormal changes affecting the mouth, jawbones and surrounding tissues. Persistent oral lesions, unusual swelling or suspected cysts may require specialist examination, imaging or further diagnostic investigations.
Dentoalveolar surgery focuses on surgical conditions involving the teeth and their supporting jawbone structures. Such procedures may include complex extractions, impacted tooth management and treatment of selected tooth-related abnormalities.
Dental infections can occasionally spread into the surrounding facial tissues, causing swelling, pain and other complications. Specialist assessment helps determine whether medication, dental treatment or surgical intervention is necessary.
Before oral and maxillofacial surgery, patients may undergo clinical examination, imaging investigations and a review of their medical history. Surgical planning takes into account the diagnosis, complexity of the procedure and the patient's overall health.
Postoperative care is an important part of recovery after oral surgery. Follow-up appointments may help monitor healing, manage discomfort and identify potential complications. Patients should follow the specific recovery instructions provided by their treating surgeon.
