Event Details

This hands-on course is designed for dentists with limited oral surgery experience, looking to improve their confidence.

Course overview

Oral surgery is often confronting, especially in a patient who is experiencing pain and may have some complexities in medical history or in the proposed surgical procedure. This course is designed to provide those with limited oral surgery experience with the opportunity to improve their confidence when practicing general surgical techniques. 

Participants will be able to hone their skills under the close supervision of two highly skilled Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons. This course will cover:

  • Introduction to surgical instruments 
  • Management of medical conditions

This hands-on course will use anatomical models and cadaveric animal specimens to practice the following: 

  • Suturing techniques 
  • Surgical techniques (including, but not limited to guttering, division elevation maxillary, flap design, root tip retrieval, abscess drainage)

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: 

  • Demonstrate correct use of various surgical instruments, including the application of root retrieval instruments 
  • Assess a patient’s medical history and appropriately manage any complexities
  • Identify and address any gaps in the basic understanding of suturing or surgical techniques 
  • Accurately preform basic surgical procedures covered in the course, including guttering, tooth division and erupted dentition extraction

At the completion of this course, participants may be interested in attending Intermediate Oral Surgery; the next course in this practical series where participants perform multiple minor oral surgical procedures.
