Oral surgeon 1 article

Oral surgeon is a dental or medical specialist, depending on the jurisdiction and training system, whose practice focuses on surgical conditions of the teeth, jaws and adjacent oral tissues. Work can include complex extractions, impacted teeth, biopsies, preprosthetic procedures and other dentoalveolar surgery, with referral for cases beyond general-practice scope. The role should be distinguished from oral and maxillofacial surgery where that specialty includes broader facial trauma, oncology, orthognathic or hospital-based surgical responsibilities.
