Abstract

The Dental Council of India has included facial plastic surgery in the scope of practice of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (OMFSs) in India. However, the knowledge and interests of these specialists towards facial plastic surgery are unexplored. A descriptive cross-sectional study consisting of a structured questionnaire tool with six domains and 46 questions was circulated amongst registered OMFSs in India. The study consisted of 950 participants. The data obtained from this questionnaire were coded and entered into Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and a descriptive analysis was conducted. The study yielded that only 33% of the participants were completely aware of facial fillers and 30.5% were aware of Botox procedure. However, there was complete awareness of blepharoplasty in 42%, cheiloplasty/palatoplasty in 65.8%, laser facial resurfacing in 23.7% and facial rejuvenation in 23.5% of the participants. It was found that a high number of OMFSs felt that their exposure to plastic surgery during their post-graduation years was not sufficient.

印度口腔颌面外科医生对面部美容与整形外科专业培训的兴趣 - 一项评估研究

印度牙科委员会已将面部整形手术纳入印度口腔颌面外科医生（OMFSs）的执业范围。然而，这些专科医生对面部整形手术的了解和兴趣却还未得到深入探讨。我们在印度注册的口腔颌面外科医生中分发了一份描述性横断面研究，其中包括一个结构化问卷工具，包含六个领域和 46 个问题。这项研究有 950 人参加。从问卷中获得的数据经过编码后输入社会科学统计软件包（SPSS），并进行了描述性分析。研究结果表明，只有 33% 的参与者完全了解面部填充剂，30.5% 的参与者了解肉毒杆菌毒素疗法。然而，42%的参与者完全了解眼睑整形术，65.8%的参与者了解颧骨/腭骨整形术，23.7%的参与者了解激光面部换肤术，23.5%的参与者了解面部年轻化术。调查发现，很多整形外科医生认为，他们在毕业后的几年里接触整形外科的机会不够多。
