Oral Surgery
A dentist only obtains the title "oral surgeon" after the successful completion of a 4-year further education programme in the field of Dental Surgery. This vocational training is only possible for graduates of Dental Studies who already hold a dentist's licence to practice. Candidates are usually trained in the oral and maxillofacial surgery department of a hospital. To a large extent, oral and implant surgery are part and parcel of the operational practice. After 4 years, candidates have to prove their knowledge and practical expertise by passing a final examination before obtaining the title of an "oral surgeon".

* Implantology (insertion of implants)
