A. Course Description 

This is mainly a clinical course in advanced oral surgery which is designed to get the dental student to carry out more complicated minor oral surgical procedures under local anaesthesia. Cases such as retained roots, impacted teeth, alveoloplasty, and management of orofacial infections are given to the student to treat under faculty supervision. 

Students are also introduced to hospital rules and protocol, which include medical records, doctor’s orders, progress notes, laboratory and radiographical results, temperature/pressure/respiration graphics, operation notes and discharge summary. 

The second semester includes a series of formal lectures that covers topics in major oral and maxillofacial surgery which were not adequately covered during previous oral surgery courses.
