Abstract：
The objective of the current research was to assess and gain insight into the perceptions held by dental students enrolled in the clinical program at Qassim University regarding the specialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS). A survey-based cross-sectional study was carried out at the dental clinics of Qassim University, following approval from the Dental Research Center of the university. The study targeted a population consisting of 80 dental interns and undergraduate students (BDS) enrolled at Qassim University. From each academic year (third year to interns), a random selection of 20 students was made, ensuring representation from both male and female sections. Upon analyzing the data regarding the intern and class year of dental students, it was found that there were no statistically significant associations with regard to question 3: \"What do you perceive as the most commonly performed procedure by oral and maxillofacial surgeons in practice?\" (P = 0.759a). Among intern and dental students, a significant majority identified extraction of the third molars as the most frequent procedure carried out. The lowest percentage (70.4%) was reported among the intern classes, whereas the highest percentage (91.7%) was reported among the fourth-year students. The perceptions of dental students toward OMFS undergo changes during their undergraduate training. By gaining a deeper understanding of these perceptions, the academic faculty specialized in OMFS can enhance their ability to educate students and, in turn, strengthen the overall specialty.
摘要：
当前研究的目的是评估和深入了解参加Qassim大学临床课程的牙科学生对口腔颌面外科（OMFS）专业的看法。在卡西姆大学的牙科诊所进行了一项基于调查的横断面研究，经过大学牙科研究中心的批准。该研究针对的人群包括Qassim大学注册的80名牙科实习生和本科生（BDS）。从每个学年（第三年到实习生），随机选择了20名学生，确保男性和女性部门的代表。在分析了牙科学生实习生和班级年的数据后，结果发现,关于问题3:"你认为口腔颌面外科医师在实践中最常执行的手术是什么?",没有统计学上显著的关联(P=0.859a).在实习生和牙科学生中，绝大多数人认为提取第三磨牙是最常见的手术。所报告的比例最低(70.4%)为实习生班,而在四年级学生中报告的百分比最高（91.7％）。牙科学生对OMFS的看法在本科培训期间发生了变化。通过对这些看法有更深入的理解，专门从事OMFS的学术教师可以提高他们教育学生的能力，反过来,加强整体专业。
