LECTURE
“Oral Surgery: Faster, Easier, and More Predictable”
Friday, June 4, 2021
7:45 am to 5:15 pm
(8 hrs. of AGD Oral Surgery Lecture Credit)
Presenter: Dr. Karl Koerner
Many extractions look easy but can soon become difficult, time consuming, and lead to complications. This course reviews the best techniques and instruments to remove “surgical” extractions easily and quickly while conserving bone. From that primary emphasis, Dr. Koerner branches to other related surgery subjects that use many of the same instruments and principles.
These include:
- The most common suturing techniques and materials,
- avoiding sinus problems,
- predictable socket grafting techniques (without company hype),
- ridge preparation for immediate dentures,
- bleeding management during surgery,
- a review of moderate third molar impaction essentials (anatomy and step-by-step guidelines).
Course objectives: As a result of attending this course, the dentist will be able to:
- More easily do “surgical” or difficult extractions that frequently occur in general practice.
- Be more proficient at ridge preparation for immediate dentures.
- Select appropriate socket grafting cases and have the knowledge to do them successfully.
- Prevent and/or manage bleeding problems that can occur during oral surgery.
- Better understand patient selection and risks of third molar surgery.
- Perform oral surgery according to current standards of care.
HANDS ON TRAINING
Saturday, June 5, 2021 | 8:00 am to 8:00 pm
This workshop builds on the Friday lecture. It applies the surgical principles covered already – to use on life-like dentoform models.
The following procedures will be done on the models:
- full-thickness mucoperiosteal flaps (envelope and triangular),
- suturing (interrupted/surgeon’s knot, crosssuture, continuous-lock),
- surgical extractions (multiple root-top removals with several different methods),
- Alveoplasty,
- Socket grafting (bone graft and barrier membrane),
- Moderate third molar impaction (mesioangular),
- Excisional biopsy,
- Incision and drainage,
- I & D in general practice, discussion of antibiotic usage,
- Incisional/excisional biopsies,
- Bisphosphonates,
- Other discussion as time permits.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
In addition to the course objective on Friday, the dentist will also be able to:
- Control patient anxiety related to oral surgery.
- Correctly perform I & D’s on the lessinvasive abscesses.
- Do easier third molar impactions.
- Perform oral surgery according to the current standards of care.
- More easily and quickly do “surgical” or difficult extractions that frequently occur in general practice.
- Be more proficient at ridge preparation for dentures following multiple extractions.
- Prevent and/or manage complications that can occur during oral surgery such as bleeding, sinus problems, and tuberosity fractures etc.
- Perform predictable socket bone grafting.
