In 1992, the International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (IAOMS) published its training guidelines document. The following survey was conducted to determine the current status of the training and scope of practice of oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMS) worldwide. Currently, 55% of OMS practice with a single degree, predominantly a dental degree (DDS), while only 16% of the responding countries require dual qualification (MD, DDS). There is a trend toward the dual degree (MD, DDS) in the remaining 29%. In general, in those countries where dual qualification is mandatory, the scope is broadest; however, the scope in a number of countries in which surgeons practice with only the DDS degree - for example, Japan - is equally broad. This baseline information will be used to monitor the growth and development of the speciality in the future.
1992年，国际口腔颌面外科医师协会（IAOMS）发布了其培训指南文件。开展以下调查以确定全球口腔颌面外科医生（OMS）的培训现状和执业范围。目前，55%的口腔颌面外科医生仅拥有单一学位，主要是牙科学位（DDS），而在做出回应的国家中，只有16%要求具备双重资格（医学博士、牙科学位）。其余29%的国家有向双重学位（医学博士、牙科学位）发展的趋势。总体而言，在那些强制要求双重资格的国家，执业范围最广；然而，在一些外科医生仅拥有牙科学位（DDS）的国家——例如日本——其执业范围同样广泛。这些基础信息将用于监测该专业未来的发展。
