The Oral Surgery Course for General Practitioners

*COURSE FULL – BOOK NEXT DATE BELOW* The leading Oral Surgery course for GDPs, in its’ Irish venue. Combined learning approach, pre-course, online theory followed by 2 days of hands-on skills on pig jaws.

This comprehensive 2 day course is set up as a blended learning package, to enhance your learning experience whilst respecting your time in the practice. Before the hands-on days, there will be essential course material available online at www.theoralsurgerycourse.co.uk that will qualify for 8 hours CPD-

This covers:

  • Relevant medical history (including how to manage patients taking anticoagulants, antiplatelets and bisphosphonates)
  • Local anaesthetic (trying to make it more predictable and managing hot/infected teeth)
  • Pharmacy in oral surgery (analgesics and antibiotic guardianship)
  • Simple extraction technique (easy wins to try and help your consistency using luxators, elevators and forceps)
  • Surgical extraction technique (flap design, incisions, flap raising, tooth sectioning, bone removal and suturing)
  • Complications (planning to avoid them and how to recover from them)
  • Impacted and ectopic teeth (8s, 3s and 5s. Systematic approach planning for the removal of 8s, an orthodontic led approach to the treatment of 3s)

 

During the hands-on days there will be several exercises designed to reflect the techniques in the pre-course material and time available for each delegate to work through any particular issues they might be experiencing.

We’d hope that each delegate would have time to complete several surgical extractions on a mix of pigs heads and custom extraction models. The two days will be devoted to hands on work and will qualify for 12 hours CPD, approved by the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh.

The course would suit the dentist who seeks more confidence and competence for their general dentistry; who might be wanting to improve their skills to provide dental implants; or who might be looking down the path of becoming a DWPSI.
