A practitioner with 4 years' hospital oral surgery experience undertook minor oral surgery procedures within a general dental practice over a 4-year period. The variety of work completed is shown. The National Health Service fees for the procedures indicate that a practice limited to minor oral surgery is both practically and financially viable when referral fees and x-rays are included. Differences in the types of procedure undertaken by visiting 'specialist' practitioners and 'specialist' practices is highlighted. A population of 310,000 is suggested for a 'specialist' practice in minor oral surgery to be feasible.
一位拥有4年医院口腔外科经验的从业者在一家普通牙科诊所进行了为期4年的小型口腔外科手术。所示为完成的各类工作。这些手术的国民医疗服务费用表明，当把转诊费和X光检查费用计算在内时，仅开展小型口腔外科手术的诊所从实际操作和经济方面来看都是可行的。文中强调了来访的“专科”从业者和“专科”诊所所进行的手术类型的差异。建议小型口腔外科“专科”诊所的服务人群规模为31万时才可行。
