[The stomatology and maxillo-facial surgery department]
Abstract
Initially devoted to emergencies, the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery has grown considerably since 1979. The department now consists of a Maxillofacial Surgery Unit supplemented by several specialised Units in charge of oncology, orthodontics and orthognathic surgery, implantology and all dental specialities. The main themes of research developed in the department include the healing process of oral tissues, the teratogenic effects of various compounds on the cranio-facial region, the study of apoptosis, the role of heat shock proteins, and the management of craniofacial dysmorphosis. These studies have a direct impact on patient management.
