Oral Surgery for the General Dentist: Making It Easier, Faster, and More Predictable 

Lecture only.

Many extractions look easy but can soon become difficult, time consuming, and lead to problems. This course reviews the best techniques and instruments to remove “surgical” extractions easily and quickly while conserving bone. It makes exodontia more enjoyable and predictable so it can be performed with greater confidence and less stress. Dr. Koerner presents an algorithmic process that progresses “by the numbers” until the extraction is complete. If one thing doesn’t work, try the next one. It covers multiple extractions with alveoplasty and preventing complications such as sinus misadventures, excessive bleeding, and tuberosity fractures.
