- Dentistry is the practical application of knowledge
of dental science (the science of placement, arrangement,
function of teeth) to human beings. A dentist is a professional
practitioner of dentistry. In most countries, to become a qualified
dentist, one needs several years of training in a university
(usually 4-8) and some practical experience working with actual patients'
dentition. The patron saint of dentists is Saint Apollonia, martyred in
Alexandria by having all her teeth violently extracted, not, one would have
thought, such a very desirable exempla.
- Oral surgery is a specialty of dentistry.
To specialize in oral surgery in the United States,
a graduate of dental school must attend either a four-year
or a six-year residency program. The four-year programs grant
a certification of specialty training in oral surgery.
The six-year programs grant certification plus a doctorate
degree in medicine (MD). Some hospitals require oral surgeons to
have an MD degree to perform certain complex procedures.
