Surgery will remove your appendix after your infection has been treated. If you have a ruptured abscess or appendix, surgery may be needed right away. Surgery to remove the appendix is called an appendectomy. This procedure can be done as open surgery or laproscopically.
Oral and maxillofacial pathology (also termed oral pathology, stomatognathic disease, dental disease, or mouth disease) refers to the diseases of the mouth (oral cavity or stoma), jaws (maxillae or gnath) and related structures such as salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin (the skin around the mouth).
Patients with mouth diseases can be seen by a variety of doctors, but oral and maxillofacial pathology is the only specialty of dentistry or medicine that concentrates specifically on the diagnosis (both clinically and microscopically) and non-surgical treatment of conditions that affect the mouth.
