Easier, More Predictable Oral Surgery in General Practice
Friday, November 7, 2008
8:30am-4:00pm (6 CE credits)
Most dentists perform exodontia. Unfortunately, 10-20% of all extractions become “surgical”.
This course emphasizes techniques to manage difficult extractions, such as:
- Incisions and flaps for better access.
- How and where to section teeth and remove bone.
- Newer instrument designs that make a big difference.
Many of these pearls are things you were not taught in dental school. With this foundation, the discussion extends to other procedures that require the same instruments, such as alveoplasty, continuous-lock suturing, bone grafting extraction sites, and moderate third molar impactions in young people. Related topics include oral sedation and managing of patients on Coumadin.
