Oral Surgery and Medical Tips for Dentists - Second Edition (ORAL SURGERY AND MEDICAL TIPS- FOCUS SERIES)

When learning becomes a habit, it also becomes a pleasure. The knowledge we gain from what we learn is, in fact, a form of power.
Of course, as dentists, it is not primarily our job to be concerned with every aspect of general health... As dentists, we focus on the health, treatment, and surgery of the mouth, teeth, and jaws. Our knowledge is centered on this. However, while performing oral, dental, and maxillofacial surgeries and treatments, we must not forget that we are treating not just the mouth but the entire patient. We must observe and pay attention to abnormal conditions in the patient’s systemic health. This applies to every field of dentistry. When necessary, we should consult the patient’s physician for advice.
All of this makes it essential for a dentist to have a sufficient foundation in general medical knowledge. Collaboration with medicine becomes even more critical in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Whether in the operating room or due to the nature of the procedures, a strong medical partnership is required
