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-

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 14 hours CPD.
