The General Practice resident spends one month with our oral and maxillofacial surgery staff evaluating and treating inpatients and outpatients in the clinic and in the operating rooms. Procedures include dentoalveolar, preprosthetic, trauma, TMJ, orthognathic, implant, and reconstructive surgery and treatment of infections.
Residents make daily inpatient rounds.
Residents will participate actively in these specialty areas, treating patients in the clinic and operating room settings. The General Practice resident spends one month in the operating room and prepares patients for anesthesia, utilizes monitoring equipment, and participates in venipuncture, intubations, and airway management. Intravenous sedation and general anesthesia are emphasized. By the end of the year, the resident will be well-prepared to practice all phases of general dentistry and handle medical and dental emergencies. Our General Practice Residency Program provides a comprehensive background for the dentist planning to enter private practice, hospital dentistry, or one of the specialties.
