Medical - Medical: Dentistry / Medical Specialist Abbreviations
German term or phrase: ORS
These are in a survey in which the survey taker (doctors and dentists specializing in dental surgery, implants, tissue reconstruction, etc.) is asked to chose his/her specialty from the following list: GP I P ORS. And there is a space for "other" as well.
I assume GP stands for general practitioner, and I'm guessing ORS would stand for something like oral rehab specialist, but I thought I'd better seek expert advice on these. I don't have a clue abbout I or P. As per the rules, I'll submit each as a separate question, but they are all from the same question in this survey. And are there acceptable English abbreviations for each one or would it be better (at least in some cases) to write them out?

neutral  Susanne Schiewe: It's about dental implants - so I think 'ORS' stands for 'oral surgery' as suggested by Siegfried
