Introduction: The Oral Surgery Specialized Graduate Degree (Diplôme d’Études Spécialisées en Chirurgie Orale, DESCO) was created in France in 2011. The purpose of this study was to assess the current situation, ten years after its creation. The evaluation concerns both the training and the professional opportunities. Material and Method: An observational, cross-sectional, descriptive study was performed in 2022 on students who were enrolled in the DESCO-residencies and on former students from this residency. Eleven generations of students (from 2011 to 2021) were included in our study, which represents 330 persons. Each enrolled subjects had to fill an anonymous survey. Conclusions: The current situation’s review obtained in this study is consistent with the initial purpose of this new degree’s creation: training practitioners, specialized in oral medicine and surgery, to provide a quality healthcare in this sector in deficit.
Key words: Oral surgery / graduate degree / residency
