ABSTRACT
For those who are interested in or have made the first steps on embarking on a career in oral and maxillofacial surgery, the following information may act as a support.
The definition of the scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery is taken from the intercollegiate surgical curriculum project in the United Kingdom. This varies widely internationally, although a close parallel in terms of scope and hospital-based practice exists between the United Kingdom and Germany, some other parts of Europe and specific states/provinces in North America.
