- Feel more relaxed with extractions in the future.
The crumbling tooth
Presented by Dr Lisa Crighton
Even seemingly simple of extractions can ruin your perfectly scheduled day if you’re not looking for the red flags. Explore the pertinent things to look for in your patient’s medical history, past history and radiography before you pick up the forceps!
You will learn:
- How to identify red flags in the patient’s medical history
- How to recognise subtle radiographic features that may indicate an increased degree of extraction difficulty
- Problem-solving skills for when the extraction is taking a turn for the worse
- Communication techniques when your patient is resisting a referral despite your advice.
