INTRODUCTION There is a perception that the training pathway for oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) is unduly long and arduous, as consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeons must be doubly qualified (that is, hold degrees in medicine and dentistry) and be holders of two higher fellowships. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the data regarding the average age of National Training Number (NTN) holders and GMC data on the year of first registration and the year of entry onto a specialist surgical list for all 9 surgical specialties. RESULTS The results showed the average age of the surgical SpR populations ranged from 33.5 to 38.2 years with an average age of 36.14 years. OMFS SpR's average age is 37.69 years. The GMC data showed the average number of months from full to specialist registration ranged from 90.83 months to 135.24 months, with OMFS surgeons having the lowest average. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that OMFS surgeons are of a similar age to other surgeons whilst in training. In addition, they have the shortest transit time between full GMC registration and entry onto the specialist list. The length of this training even with dual qualification is similar to other surgical specialties.

Abstract Aim The General Medical Council (GMC) National Training Survey invites all doctors in training and this study evaluates satisfaction in surgical training and variations with speciality, seniority, and training region. Method All survey results were obtained from the GMC website. Responses of trainees, ranging from foundation training to registrar, were collected and categorised by speciality, training stage and location. Results 9465 surgical trainees completed the study in 2019. The highest indicators were Educational Supervision (97.68), Clinical Supervision (87.42) and Clinical Supervision (out of hours) (87.28). The lowest were Workload (44.60), Rota Design (56.00) and Local Teaching (59.31). Highest and lowest ranking specialities were oral and maxillofacial surgery (84.25) and vascular surgery (73.95). Satisfaction varied significantly across training stages, with speciality trainees highest (82.58) overall and foundation year 1 lowest (70.03). London scored highest (77.95) and Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales collectively scored 77.13. Within England, South England ranked highest in five specialities but only orthopaedics and neurosurgery showed significant national variations. Conclusions Our data show variations in training satisfaction across many training cohorts. Satisfaction increases with surgeon seniority. Trainers and educational boards should target interventions to improve the quality of training for all grades of trainees and ensure appropriate curriculum coverage and address specific concerns.

The Face

Reconstruction of the mandible after severe trauma is one of the most difficult challenges facing oral and maxillofacial surgery. The mandible is an essential element in the appearance of the human face that gives the distinctive shape of the face, holds. This paper aims to propose a methodology that allows the surgeon to perform virtual surgery by investing engineering programs to place the implant by default and with high accuracy within the mandible based on the patient's medical data. The current study involved a 35-year-old man suffering from a traffic accident in the mandible with multiple fractures of the facial bones. Basically, an identification of the steps required to perform virtual surgery and modeling images from the CBCT technology has been done by using the software proposed in the research. The implant model is designed as a mesh model, allowing the patient to return to a normal position. Moreover, an application of FEA procedures using the Solidworks simulation software to test and verify the mechanical properties of the final transplant.
