Introduction: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (CBMF) combines dental and medical expertise to treat complex craniofacial pathologies, but its training varies markedly among countries worldwide. Objective: To characterize CBMF training programs, describing their entry routes, duration, degree of graduation and training/rotational areas. Methods: Observational and descriptive study of programs in the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania, with official data (2020-2025) compiled in a spreadsheet for comparative analysis. Results: Of the 40 programs analyzed, 30 admit only dental surgeons, predominantly in America, Asia and Africa with a duration of 3 to 4 years, 5 require a medical degree and 5 require a double degree, the latter two predominantly in Europe and Oceania with a duration of 5 to 6 years. It was identified that the training/rotational areas were designed mainly to fill gaps in training in specific fields. Conclusion: The di#erences in training models respond to regulatory traditions and levels of investment in health. Countries with lower spending tend to have single access to dentistry, and those with greater resources adopt dual degrees. This panorama highlights the need for a minimum global curriculum that favors homologation and professional mobility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Introducción: La Cirugía Bucal y Maxilofacial (CBMF) combina conocimientos odontológicos y médicos para tratar patologías craneofaciales complejas, pero su formación varía notablemente entre países del mundo. Objetivo: Caracterizar los programas de formación en CBMF, describiendo sus vías de ingreso, duración, grado de egreso y áreas formativas/rotacionales. Métodos: Estudio observacional y descriptivo de programas de América, Europa, Asia, África y Oceanía, con datos oficiales (2020-2025) recopilados en una hoja de cálculo para análisis comparativo. Resultados: De los 40 programas analizados, 30 admiten sólo cirujanos dentistas siendo predominante en América, Asia y África con una duración de entre 3 a 4 años, 5 exigen título médico y 5 requieren doble titulación estos dos últimos predominan en Europa y Oceanía abarcando un tiempo de duración entre 5 a 6 años, se identificó que las áreas formativas/rotacionales se diseñaron fundamentalmente para subsanar carencias de formación en campos específicos. Conclusión: Las diferencias en modelos formativos responden a tradiciones regulatorias y niveles de inversión en salud. Los países con menor gasto tienden al acceso odontológico único, y los de mayores recursos adoptan la doble titulación. Este panorama resalta la necesidad de un currículo mínimo global que favorezca la homologación y movilidad profesional. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
