Maxillofacial System Discussion Board

Maxillofacial system (MFS) determines facial beauty of an individual and interplays as an “intersection” for many organ systems of human body. All facial expressions, cues, gestures and eye contact, phonation, articulation and resonance which are the essential pillars of non verbal and verbal communication, fall in the domain of MFS.
Maxillofacial trauma represents the major burden in ER of hospitals across the globe. ABCs of any trauma involves securing Airway and stabilization of Cervical Spine, ensuring Breathing and Circulation. Management of maxillofacial trauma requires accurate knowledge of structure and function of this area. Maxillofacial System module is designed to deliver the structure and function of maxillofacial system with clinical perspective. Whatever you learn in this module will have significance in your future clinical practice.

MFS module will be your first module which will be conducted by a common pool of facilitators, without subject boundaries, designated for this year. All the forthcoming modules will be facilitated by the similar common pool of respective years.

I have tried to create a forum, for the students and faculty, where both can interact with each other. Please feel free to discuss your ideas, experiences and suggestions. Your valuable feedback will enable us re-organize and improve this module.
