A Relaxed Team Approach to Oral Surgery

This course demonstrates an effective surgical protocol for dentist and staff. Instrumentation, set-up, and assisting principles are reviewed to help the assistant anticipate th dentist’s needs.

Three patients are treated including one for the removal of dentition in the maxilla with placement of an immediate denture, removal of roots in both maxilla and mandible in another patient, and removal of third molars in a 17-year-old patient. The course should help both dentist and assistant be more at ease during surgery.
