Maxillofacial surgery is the surgical specialty concerned with the mouth, jaws, face and associated structures. In Bangladesh it covers a wide spectrum: oral cancer related to tobacco and betel-quid use, facial fractures after road traffic accidents, cleft lip and palate, jaw deformity, deep infections, TMJ disorders and reconstruction after tumour removal or trauma.
As one article by Prof. Dr. Nasir Uddin notes, the specialty is still not widely known in the country and the number of specifically trained, experienced surgeons remains comparatively small — which is why patients are often referred to Dhaka for assessment.
Prof. Dr. Nasir Uddin has practised, taught and researched in this field for decades: from Dhaka Dental College and Dhaka Medical College Hospital to leading the department at Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College, and now as Professor at Sapporo Dental College & Hospital.
