The Department of Oral Surgery was established to provide undergraduate students with basic surgical skills such as exodontia and performing minor oral surgery. Students undergo training on manikins, after which they will be doing procedures under the supervision of academic staff members. It also provides exposure to major maxillofacial surgery, training the students about the procedures at the Oral and Maxillofacial ward, Operation Theater, minor operating theater and the dental ICU. Surgical approaches to management of facial trauma, congenital abnormalities in the head and neck, facial reconstruction, surgical management of benign and malignant lesions of the head and neck are some of the interests of this specialty.
