e-Advisor 2013 Winter Edition

On September 27-28, 2013 fifty dentists gathered at Bisco Institue in Schaumburg, IL. to interact in a fascinating participation course presented by Karl Koerner DDS,MS on Atraumatic and Efficient Exodontics.

Dr. Koerner received his DDS degree from the University of Washington School of Dentistry in Seattle, and completed a General Practice Residency in the US Army. He now practices in Utah as a general dentist who performs only oral surgery treatment. He has written four books on the subject and is published in five languages. In 2010 he was awarded The Academy of General Dentistry’s Weclew Award for his contributions to general dentistry and dental education.

A marvelously engineered model was employed as a fascinating tool to incorporate the principles prescribed by Dr. Koerner including: third molar extractions, bone grafting procedures, root tip extractions, pre-prosthetic procedures with a continuous suturing technique and a biopsy procedure. The luxators and their proper use into the PDL were discussed as was the piezo ultrasonic units to snap the PDL and expand or minimally excise the bone around the tooth.
