Course Description
Is it possible to master in two days multiple surgical procedures that you’re currently referring out? The answer is a resounding yes. This action-packed two day class, with two hands-on model course, will provide a step-by-step blueprint for success at a wide array of oral surgical procedures. It will be a question-inviting atmosphere. From pre-op patient preparation to scheduling to post-op instructions, you will leave prepared to return to your practice and immediately provide these procedures.
The course has been carefully designed to integrate didactic, audio and visual aides, and extensive hands-on attendee participation with a wide range of exodontia procedures for each individual.
During the (Model) Hands-On, each doctor will:
- Determine and utilize appropriate flap design.
- Remove teeth in various clinical scenarios, such as teeth broken to the gingiva; teeth adjacent to “delicate” teeth (ie, anterior crowns); teeth in lingual version; and teeth in crowded dentition.
- Select and demonstrate proficient use of appropriate armamentarium (Elevators, Physics Forceps vs. conventional) to remove sectioned teeth. Determine and demonstrate case-appropriate suturing technique.
