The branch of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is uniquely interesting as it blends within itself the art and science of dental surgery, medical sciences and regional head and neck surgery. The training of a dental surgery student is incomplete without learning the essence of oral and maxillofacial surgery and applying the same in their day-to-day practice.
