AuditDuring his hospital training Dr Tom built the research datasets for facial trauma, orthognathic surgery and oral pathology, and as a principal of Oromax Day Surgery in Adelaide he ran extensive surgical audits. That audit continues here: every wisdom tooth, implant, canine exposure and biopsy he treats is recorded, and the results are published in our Common Questions and the Clinical Update for referring dentists.
