São Paulo State University

São Paulo, Brazil

The Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (Department of Diagnosis and Surgery) at Araraquara, São Paulo, is based at the São Paulo State University (UNESP). Ambulatory surgical activities are developed at the Dental School, whereas emergency and hospital surgical procedures are performed mainly at three hospitals: Santa Casa, Beneficência Portuguesa and Hospital São Paulo.

Our division is based at Araraquara, which has a population of 200,000 people; however, it receives patients from a wide area within the São Paulo State in south-eastern Brazil, with a population of about 2 million, as well as from other states. Procedures performed include:

• Oral surgery procedures in general
• Osseointegrated implants and associated reconstructions
• Craniofacial traumatology
• Orthognathic surgery
• TMJ surgery
• Treatment of benign tumours and associated reconstructions
• Treatment of maxillofacial infections

For short-term fellowships of 1 to 3 months, our division is most suitable for clinical training in the fields of facial traumatology and orthognathic surgery. Longer fellowship periods, up to 18 months, require specific documentation and thus should be programmed 12 months in advance. In such a case, participation in a research project in the areas of biomaterials or bone healing of the craniofacial skeleton can be made available.
