I accidentally put this in the NDPBRN repo. Copying content to OHD repo.
Here is a potential definition for 'surgical dental procure' from MedNet:
The branch of medicine that employs operations in the treatment of disease or injury. Surgery can involve cutting, abrading, suturing, or otherwise physically changing body tissues and organs.

AR: Obviously needs to be adapted.
One try: A surgical dental procedure is a dental procedure involving
cutting, abrading, suturing, or otherwise physically changing body tissues
and organs.
This relies on 'dental procedure' for the scope. However our dental
procedure definition isn't great either. "A heath care encounter in which a
dental patient undergoes a diagnostic or therapeutic process."
If the dentist takes your blood pressure, is that taking a dental procedure?
Maybe specify anatomy, as I do in the version below "in the oral cavity"
Surgery is performed for the purpose of structurally altering the human
body by incision or destruction of tissues and is part of the practice of
medicine. Surgery also is the diagnostic or therapeutic treatment of
conditions or disease processes by any instruments causing localized
alteration or transportation of live human tissue, which include lasers,
ultrasound, ionizing radiation, scalpels, probes, and needles. The tissue
can be cut, burned, vaporized, frozen, sutured, probed, or manipulated by
closed reduction for major dislocations and fractures, or otherwise altered
by any mechanical, thermal, light-based, electromagnetic, or chemical
means. Injection of diagnostic or therapeutic substances into body
cavities, internal organs, joints, sensory organs, and the central nervous
system is also considered to be surgery (this does not include
administration by nursing personnel of some injections, such as
subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous when ordered by a physician).
All of these surgical procedures are invasive, including those that are
performed with lasers, and the risks of any surgical intervention are not
eliminated by using a light knife or laser in place of a metal knife or
scalpel. Patient safety and quality of care are paramount, and the College
therefore believes that patients should be assured that individuals who
perform these types of surgery are licensed physicians (defined as doctors
of medicine or osteopathy) who meet appropriate professional standards.
A surgical dental procedure is a dental procedure in which there is
structural alteration in or around the oral cavity by incision or
destruction of tissues by or manipulation with instruments causing
localized alteration or transportation of tissue, including lasers,
ultrasound, ionizing radiation, scalpels, probes, and needles.
I'm not sure if oral cavity is too broad. Is there concise narrower scope?
E.g. "mouth or jaw"?

For reference below is the definition from the American College of Surgeons https://www.facs.org/~/media/files/advocacy/state/definition%20of%20surgery%20legislative%20toolkit.ashx. It's long. Below I'll try to adapt it to our purposes
