This archive represents Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery images from Emeritus Professor Goss’ extensive collection. He has made these images available free of charge to dental students and professionals.

Professor Goss has taught and practiced Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in South Australia for over half a century, and during this time he has taught countless medical and dental students aspects of Oral Pathology, General Medicine, Oral Medicine, and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. To facilitate this, he has developed a large picture library of all aspects of these topics. These have been classified into this Archive.

At present, Professor Goss is: Emeritus Professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery; Emeritus Consultant of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon at the Royal Adelaide Hospital; consultant at the Adelaide Dental Hospital; private specialist limited to complex cases of oral medicine, MRONJ, and TMS; medico-legal consultant; and TMJ advisor to the Australasian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR).

All images were obtained with the permission of the patients over fifty years of practice. Copyright for these images belongs to Alastair N Goss and downloading of these images has been disabled.
