Course Description: (Click for Show/Hide)
This course is designed for the general practitioner who wishes to perform his/her own surgery and who rarely refers cases to the specialist.
It is a step-by-step presentation, accompanied by slides, of numerous minor surgical procedures that the dentist can and WILL confidently perform in the office when this seminar is completed. The course will demonstrate techniques that have been utilized and updated successfully for over 30 years.
It is important to emphasize that this seminar DOES NOT present major Maxillofacial surgery such as osteotomies, fractures, condylectomies, rhinoplasties, etc. that are of no practical or clinical value to the GP. The surgical procedures that will be taught are the Bread and Butter variety, allowing the participant to refine and update all surgical skills.
