Medical Director, Prof. Dr. Dr.med.
Our division carries out treatment of all maxillofacial diseases. The range of our services includes the correction of birth defects, such as deformation of the nose, palate, “cleft lip”, and occlusion defects. Such surgeries are performed at a rather early stage for adolescents from 3 to 9 months old. The use of tomography and Doppler sonography, which were developed by the division, is well known for its up-to-date diagnostics. We have our own allergy laboratory where materials are checked for allergenic capacity as well as histologic and hospital laboratories.
