Many extractions look easy, but can become difficult, time consuming and lead to problems. This course reviews the best techniques and instruments to remove “surgical” extractions easily and quickly while conserving bone. It also covers multiple extractions, ridge preparation for immediate dentures, moderate 3rd molar surgery impactions and avoiding or managing common surgical complications, such as sinus misadventures, excessive bleeding and tuberosity fractures. Also included is predictable socket bone grafting.
