Enhance your clinical proficiency and your enjoyment of oral surgical procedures!

This popular hands-on course presents many aspects of oral surgery.  One main emphasis is on “surgical extractions” – enabling general dentists to accomplish tooth removal with greater confidence and skill. Other similar procedures that use many of the same instruments are included, such as removal of impacted wisdom teeth, tori removal, anterior apicoectomies, excisional biopsies, and easier crown-lengthening procedures. Several options for socket grafting are presented. Other subjects included are case selection, related anatomy, prevention and management of complications, one-drug oral sedation, and local anesthetic concerns. Many of the principles and techniques included in this course are those currently taught in oral surgery residency programs. Life-like models, video clips, and many examples from actual clinical cases are included to best illustrate and teach important points. Go home excited and with your increased abilities in oral surgery!
