Course Objective

The aim of this course is to provide dental students with a comprehensive understanding of maxillofacial surgery, encompassing reactive and fibro-osseous lesions, vascular anomalies, dentoalveolar and maxillofacial trauma, temporomandibular joint disorders, orthognathic surgery, cleft lip and palate, implantology, and maxillofacial tumor surgery. The course is designed to equip students with knowledge of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, to enhance their practical skills through case-based discussions and clinical scenarios, and to foster professional competence in surgical planning and management within oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Defines reactive, fibro-osseous, and vascular lesions of the maxillofacial region.
2   Explains the classification and basic epidemiology of dentoalveolar and maxillofacial trauma.
3   Explains the fundamental diagnostic criteria of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, orthognathic surgery, cleft lip and palate, and maxillofacial tumors.
4   Defines the mechanism of distraction osteogenesis and explains its clinical applications
5   Explains the clinical applications of modern surgical approaches such as lasers, piezosurgery, computer-assisted navigation, and augmented reality.
6   Explains emergency management and treatment protocols in maxillofacial trauma.
7   Analyzes the classification and treatment methods of mandibular, condylar, maxillary, and zygomatic fractures.
8   Defines local and regional flap techniques in maxillofacial surgery.
