Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a surgical specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of disorders of head and neck region. It acts as a bridge between medicine and dentistry.

The teaching and learning exercises are designed to be holistic in view of provision of patient focused care by treating the individual with dignity, respect and compassion and being sensitive to the diversity of human needs.

Apart from catering to patient’s needs, this department also trains undergraduate and postgraduate students per year. The vision is to produce oral health care providers with a comprehensive approach to health care. We aim to provide the highest level of training in the full scope of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery in a comprehensive manner and train the students with a strong academic and research background.
The postgraduates get first-hand experience in the management of maxillofacial trauma as they are posted in 24/7 trauma duties in the emergency department at Sri Venkateshwara Medical Hospital. They are also trained in Basic Life support (BLS) and Advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) at the simulation Lab. This kind of training helps them to manage life threatening emergencies with confidence. The center has an excellent library that is stocked with specialized reference books, an accessible E-library with a wide range of national and international journals.
