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.

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.
