1. Introduction
Dental surgery is by definition a surgical specialty. Skills that are required by some dentists will be very valuable. Certainly within OMFS we will be looking at individuals to help support us, and in addition to provide suturing support for our emergency department colleagues.
This is not something to be concerned about, if you can repair complex periodontal reconstruction, you can certainly sew up a tear or laceration on a limb or anywhere else in the body.
If you are delegated to the emergency room, you will be given a lot of support. Certain dental school colleagues will align with OMFS under our supervision.
