This programme is designed to address these issues directly by providing a large element of practical simulated and clinical training supervised by oral surgery Consultants and Specialists to enable students to develop their confidence and competence in practical clinical skills as well as augmenting their theoretical knowledge. Oral Surgery is a branch of dentistry that concerns the diagnosis and treatment of oral conditions requiring surgical intervention. Oral surgery covers a spectrum of these procedures and can be carried out by a General Dental Practitioner (GDP) in a primary care setting under local anaesthetic with conscious sedation if required. Oral surgery is an area of clinical dental practice that many dentists, particularly recent graduates, appear to lack confidence to perform. While both undergraduate and foundation dental training appear to deliver sound theoretical and simulated training, there are large variations throughout the UK in clinical training and surgical experience at this level.
