Coronamolars? 2020-06-26 .txt text/plain 652 46 48 Sir, the last 18 months of DCT in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery have highlighted challenges and complications presented by facial aesthetic treatments. The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons warn that 'people who struggle with their psychological health can feel pressured to turn to "quick fix" procedures to improve their appearance' and recommend pre-treatment psychological assessments. I am unaware of any dental schools teaching facial aesthetic treatments including dermal fillers as part of the undergraduate course. It is therefore somewhat unsettling that dentists can attend a one-day course before providing treatments such as 'nonsurgical rhinoplasty' when they have likely had no training on this in their professional degree. It seems obvious that change is required in the regulations surrounding facial aesthetic procedures, particularly training of practitioners and steps to protect psychological health. It may be sensible to include such training within the BDS degree given the large proportion of dentists going on to provide these services. ./cache/cord-011773-vboa8xn9.txt ./txt/cord-011773-vboa8xn9.txt
