  1. INTRODUCTION

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) is the specialty of Dentistry that encompasses the art and science of the diagnosis and surgical management of diseases, injuries, and defects of the oral and maxillofacial region.

The Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) undergraduate OMFS curriculum is designed to train the students to provide minor oral surgery services in the practice of general dentistry. This mainly involves safe extraction of teeth (exodontia), management of minor soft and hard tissue injuries, defects and pathologies of the oral cavity, and the diagnosis and referral of major problems.

Training in OMFS starts in 3rd year BDS training. At the beginning of the academic year, students are introduced to the principles of oral surgery, exodontia, management of medical emergencies, and cross infection control. This is followed by a qualifying test, passing which is a prerequisite to clinical work. During their eight-week clinical rotation in 3rd year, students learn local anesthesia and tooth extraction techniques. The techniques are initially demonstrated, practiced on models, and then performed on patients under supervision. As oral surgery is not an examinable subject in 3rd year BDS, theory teaching of oral surgery is discontinued after the first two months.

The theory and clinical learning continues in final year BDS. Students have a ten-week clinical rotation during which they continue to perform tooth extractions and complete other clinical requirements. Clinical Tests are held in the middle and at the end of the clinical rotations.

The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery is recognized for post graduate training under the auspices of College of Physicians and Surgeons for FCPS in the subject of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery. Presently four postgraduate trainees of FCPS are doing their residency in this department.

  • Surgical and non-surgical Exodontia
  • Dentoalveolar and Endodontic surgeries
  • Oral & Maxillofacial Trauma and Injuries I.e. Road traffic Accidents, Fire arm injuries, Blast injuries, Assault, Falls etc.
