Clinical Oral Surgery II
Course Description

The purpose of Clinical Oral Surgery II is to prepare the student to be familiar with advanced oral and maxillofacial surgery problems that in most cases will require referral to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. The course will describe the characteristics and surgical management of the more common trauma, anomalies and malignancies of the oral & maxillofacial region. In addition to student performing routine oral surgery procedures commonly employed in general dental practice, the clinical practice will include discussion on the management of an actual and mock medically compromised patient scenario and other predetermined complex oral surgery topics. Objectives of this course are to develop the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to independently, safely perform diagnostic and clinical skills in the care of surgical patients appropriate to the general dental practice.
