About Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The page brings together material on everyday oral surgery and on the larger maxillofacial topics. Most of it is flashcards, with mind maps, quizzes and notes alongside.

  • Extractions: indications, forceps for maxillary and mandibular teeth, elevators and luxators.
  • Lower third molars: the mind map on lower third molar surgery covers tooth angulation (mesioangular, distoangular, horizontal, vertical) and indications for extraction such as repeated pericoronitis and non-restorable caries.
  • Trauma: the OMFS Trauma mind map walks through the ABCDE primary survey, including a jaw thrust for a suspected spinal injury.
  • Complications: dry socket, oro-antral communication, nerve injury and post-extraction pain.

Where to start

Begin with the flashcard deck on extraction questions and the Oral Surgery Tools deck. They give you the vocabulary of forceps, elevators and retractors. Then move to the Lower third Molar Sugery mind map to see how angulation shapes your approach.

Going deeper

The Dental surgery flashcard series, in 100-card decks, goes further. One deck touches on oro-antral communication and its management. Another covers nerve injury, such as axonotmesis and neurotmesis. Another covers sedation drugs, opioids and emergencies in the dental office.

For larger surgery, look at the Le Fort mind maps, the notes on Le Fort I, the BSSO flashcards, Genioplasty and the pre-prosthetic surgery decks.

Using quizzes and maps together

Take Wound Healing in Oral Surgery or Facial Fractures & Dental Trauma first. Note what you missed. Then open the matching mind map, such as the Dry socket maps or the Le Fort fracture classification, and rebuild the answer from memory.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the flashcard deck on extraction indications and forceps, then the Oral Surgery Tools deck. They set out the basic instruments. After that, the Lower third Molar Sugery mind map shows how tooth angulation and indications fit together.

What do the mind maps cover?

They cover lower third molars, OMFS trauma with the ABCDE survey, Le Fort fracture classification, coronectomy, infection spread, pre-prosthetic operations and complications of extraction. Several maps focus on dry socket, including its predisposing factors.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own materials.

Who is this page for?

It is for university students and professional candidates who want to revise oral surgery topics, and for teachers looking for ready-made material. You can practise instrument recall, extraction planning, trauma assessment and complication management.

Are there quizzes on this page?

Yes, there are over 5 quizzes. They include Wound Healing in Oral Surgery, Facial Fractures & Dental Trauma and NBDE Part 2 Test #2 - Oral Surgery. Use them to spot weak areas before returning to the maps and flashcards.

What if a topic I need is missing?

You can make your own flashcards, mind maps, quizzes or notes on it. Use the existing decks as a model, and keep your own set focused on the gap you found.
