Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Hello and welcome to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University. Our department was established alongside the Faculty of Dentistry in 1940. For over 80 years, our department has been providing education, services, and conducting research related to oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Currently, the department consists of 18 Faculties and 8 staff members, including nurses, dental assistants, and administrative personnel. We offer education and training in four different programs: the Graduate Diploma in Clinical Sciences Program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (Grad. Dip.), the Master of Science Program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (M. Sc.), the Higher Graduate Diploma in Clinical Sciences Program (International Program) (Higher. Grad. Dip.), and the Residency Training Program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (Residency Training).

Each of our programs focuses on providing knowledge and expertise in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery, with varying durations ranging from 1 to 4 years. The programs also emphasize practical training to ensure clinical competency and the depth of research work. All educational activities take place within the Faculty of Dentistry and the Dental Hospital, which include oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics, clinical research laboratories, operating theater, and post-operative care facilities.

Furthermore, students have the opportunity to participate in rotations and training in network hospitals both in Bangkok and other provinces. This allows them to gain experience in various cases that may not be encountered within the faculty. The department is dedicated to producing highly skilled dental professionals specialized in oral and maxillofacial surgery and dental implantology to serve the public sector and private sector, catering to the needs of patients in terms of both prevention and treatment of diseases. This is achieved through the utilization of knowledge, skills, and research acquired from the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University.
