COURSE INFORMATION & WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Routine exodontia is a valuable procedure for general dentists to provide to their patients. This course is intended to review fundamental principles of exodontia from the perspective of the general dentist. We will focus on how case selection can improve procedure outcomes, provide a brief procedural review, and discuss algorithmic approaches to routine surgical extractions. Additionally, the course will review common medical conditions with implications for dentoalveolar surgery and evidence-based post-operative pain management recommendations. 

After completing this program, the dental professional should be able to:

• Identify complex extractions from the radiographic presentation.
• Develop algorithms for both surgical and simple tooth extractions.
• Recognition and management of post-operative complications.
