The students will develop skills to allow them to apply knowledge, skills and understanding of human disease of relevance to oral surgery. They will also develop the ability to use a range of investigations such as haematological and radiological, to inform treatment planning for oral surgical procedures. This involves dealing with complex issues and make informed judgements in situations in the absence of complete or consistent data/information and use a wide range of routine skills and a range of advanced and specialised skills as appropriate to oral surgery provision. |
