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.
