About the Study

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a specialized field centered on surgical treatment in the dental department. It studies on oral organs, soft facial and maxillofacial bony structures, temporomandibular joints, salivary glands, and related neck disorders. It is a hyper-discipline that represents the convergence of medicine and dentistry, exploring frontiers from oral surgery to maxillofacial and maxillofacial surgery. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons must master different types of surgery, including tooth extraction, tissue biopsy, and alveolar bone repair. Among them, the extraction of impacted wisdom teeth is the most common in the clinic. Impacted mandibular third molars are often extracted due to tooth decay or acute pericoronitis, and if left untreated, adjacent teeth may become damaged, and easily destroys crowns and roots. Patients with remaining mandibular third molars have to go to the hospital when acute inflammation occurs, which seriously interferes with their daily lives.

Ambulatory surgery is a constantly evolving and promising treatment option. According to the International Association of Ambulatory Surgeons (IAAS), the surgical and diagnostic procedures can be completed in less than a day. In addition, outpatient surgery can be avoided, eliminating the need for hospitalization after completion. Another advantage of outpatient surgery is that general anesthesia is routinely used, reducing pain and discomfort. In typical Single-Visit Surgery (SVS) practice, care is integrated into a single visit to allow for preoperative evaluation. A single outpatient surgery is more comfortable and convenient compared to traditional surgery that requires multiple visits. Especially in related fields such as pediatric surgery, it is effective in reducing costs and improving patient satisfaction.

Oral and maxillofacial surgery specialties have a long history of outpatient anesthesia and surgery. Outcome studies have demonstrated the safety of anesthesia administered by surgeons for many years. However, it is clear that the medical industry is evolving and shaping new and different delivery systems. Changes in public policy, third party requirements, qualifications and accreditation threaten the economic model of surgeon-performed anesthesia. Because of these evolutionary changes, the discipline must reassess long-term economic viability and consider transforming historical practices to accommodate new economic realities.

Measurable advances in these devices have increased patient safety, improved patient records, and even reduced professional liability premiums. The market for these new services was driven by the lucrative hospital industry supported by fee-based reimbursement strategies. This ultimately led to a large gap in expensive technology between hospital operating rooms and oral and maxillofacial surgery are similarly well equipped and have begun to isolate oral and maxillofacial surgery as a less desirable and possibly less safe environment. Outpatient surgery has been continuously developed as an effective clinical method to meet the diverse needs of patients. As a comfortable and effective treatment option, it can be further developed in oral and maxillofacial surgery. We believe that further development can be achieved by optimizing treatment procedures, disseminating relevant knowledge, and improving the professionalism and timeliness of follow-up studies.

Conclusion

The planning, budgeting and sustainable quality improvement of ambulatory oral surgery services, improving the oral surgery curriculum, training, educating primary care physicians, and oral surgeons. Oral health is important to overall health and wellbeing, and tooth loss is an important indicator of oral health. The number of female patients in oral and maxillofacial surgery has lagged behind other surgical fields. Diversity improves education and patient care by fostering an inclusive environment, which leads to better patient outcomes and improved access to healthcare. Research shows that patients prefer to be treated by doctors of the same gender. Her large survey of 87 million men and 104 million women over the age of 18 in the United States found that women seek more medical care than men. Therefore, a diversified workforce of oral and maxillofacial surgeons provides more options for patients.
