The current scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery in Australia and New Zealand was explored with a survey of full members of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons resident in the region. There was an 83 per cent usable response rate and the objectivity of the data was confirmed by check questions and material from other sources. The study showed that oral and maxillofacial surgery is the surgical specialty of dentistry with the core of referral and surgical services being dento-alveolar. However, the essential knowledge of the anatomy, pathology, and surgery of the orofacial region forms the basis for the wider scope of modern oral and maxillofacial surgery. Current surgery includes management of trauma, pathology, dentofacial deformity, and a wide range of reconstructive surgery including grafts and implants.
通过对居住在该地区的澳大利亚和新西兰口腔颌面外科医生协会的正式会员进行调查，探讨了澳大利亚和新西兰目前口腔颌面外科的业务范围。有效回复率为83%，通过检查问题和其他来源的材料证实了数据的客观性。研究表明，口腔颌面外科是牙科的外科专业，转诊和手术服务的核心是牙槽。然而，口腔颌面部区域的解剖学、病理学和外科学的基本知识构成了现代口腔颌面外科更广泛业务范围的基础。目前的手术包括创伤处理、病理学、牙颌面畸形以及包括移植和植入物在内的广泛重建手术。
