I am a predent getting ready to start dental school next year and hoping to eventually get into OMFS. Is there a feeling amongst the residents that the guys that do the med route struggle with principles of occlusion and other necessary dental topics? I listened to a talk by a practicing OMFS and he said a portion of his practice came from fixing gross occasional problems caused by jaw fracture repairs done by ENTs and PRS guys. He said the common cause was when they would do orotracheal intubation the tube would get in the way and the patient would have a sever loss of chewing power not to mention jacked up occlusion and cosmetics. I have a feeling that this is more of an exception than the rule. Are OMFS better trained to repair jaw fractures because of their dental training?
