INTRODUCTION
Maxillofacial surgery is one of the most rapidly expanding specialities in India. There is however a very poor understanding of the scope of the speciality. This paper attempts to find out the awareness of the speciality in India.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A questionnaire was given to 50 medical, dental undergraduate students, 50 medical and dental practitioners, and 50 lay persons giving us a total of 250 responses. 10 common anomalies were chosen and they were asked to choose the most appropriate speciality which they would ask to treat the problem.
RESULTS
While trauma and facial deformity correction were recognised to be mainly treated by maxillofacial surgeons, the other maxillofacial problems were poorly recognised to be treated by our speciality.
CONCLUSION
This study highlights the need to promote our speciality among the dentists, doctors and general public. and if need be even change the name of our speciality from oral and maxillofacial surgery to a more simple but more easily understood facial surgery.
引言
颌面外科是印度发展最为迅速的专科之一。然而，人们对该专科的范围了解甚少。本文旨在了解印度对该专科的认知情况。
材料与方法
向50名医学、牙科本科学生、50名医学及牙科从业者和50名普通民众发放了问卷，共收到250份回复。选取了10种常见异常情况，要求他们选择最适合治疗该问题的专科。
结果
虽然创伤和面部畸形矫正主要被认为由颌面外科医生治疗，但其他颌面问题被认为由我们专科治疗的认知度很低。
结论
本研究强调有必要在牙医、医生和普通公众中推广我们的专科，如有必要，甚至将我们专科的名称从口腔颌面外科改为更简单但更易理解的面部外科。
