The scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery for the
general practitioner is defined by several factors. The
individual dentist's desire to perform surgical
procedures is the first. Some dentists have little or no
interest in surgical activity, whereas other dentists
enjoy it.
The second factor is the individual dentist's training
and experience in performing complex surgical
procedures.
