Scientific Research Activities

The clinic's scientific research focuses on:

  • New methods of treating fractures in children and adolescents

  • Development of new methodologies for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthrocentesis

  • Advancement of conservative, surgical, and endoscopic treatments for TMJ disorders

  • Diagnosis and treatment of osteoradionecrosis and the currently increasing incidence of osteochemonecrosis of the jaws caused by bisphosphonates

  • Identification of causal factors and microorganisms involved in perimandibular infections, determination of their current resistance, and recommendations for effective antibiotic therapy

  • Comparison of the salivary microbiome in children with normal development and in children with mental disorders

  • Research into salivary stones and the application of new endoscopic methods for their removal

  • Development of reconstructive surgery following devastating traumatic injuries and post-resection conditions in oncologic surgery in the oral and maxillofacial region

The clinic annually organizes a nationwide scientific-professional event with international participation – the Šubjak Day National Congress, which focuses on oral and maxillofacial surgery. It provides an excellent opportunity to exchange scientific and professional knowledge and experience.
