Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The objective of the "Pre-clinical Oral Surgery Training" course is to equip students with fundamental hands-on skills and knowledge pertaining to oral surgical procedures. Through simulated practice on phantom heads, students are prepared for real-life surgical situations, ensuring they become proficient in basic techniques and can safely manage potential complications.

Course Content:

The "Pre-clinical Oral Surgery Training" course immerses students in the essential techniques of oral surgery through hands-on practice using phantom heads. The curriculum covers foundational surgical instrument handling, tooth extraction techniques, suturing methods, management of orofacial pathologies, and post-operative care. The course culminates with a practical examination, ensuring students are well-prepared for real-life oral surgical procedures.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Familiarizing students with the pre-clinical setup, equipment, and the importance of phantom head practice
2) Teaching students the correct methods of handling and manipulating surgical instruments in a controlled environment
3) Providing hands-on experience on tooth extraction techniques
4) Instructing students on various suturing techniques in a simulated environment
5) Simulating the process of diagnosing and treating impacted teeth
6) Training students on the simulated management of orofacial infections
7) Allowing students to practice biopsy techniques safely
8) Simulating the administration of local anesthesia, emphasizing safety and efficiency
9) Giving an overview of more advanced procedures they will encounter in future studies
10) Simulating scenarios of maxillofacial trauma and its management
11) Introducing students to the diagnosis and basic management of oral pathologies using simulation
12) Educating students on the essential care procedures following oral surgical operations
13) Preparing students to recognize, prevent, and manage potential complications in oral surgery through simulation
14) Reviewing the skills acquired during the course, address any questions, and provide feedback to students for improvement
15) Assessing students' hands-on skills and competencies acquired during the semester
