Wisdom teeth extraction: advanced atraumatic techniques
Wisdom teeth extraction: advanced atraumatic techniques
Course overview
Elevate your skills in third molar extraction with advanced, updated, and minimally invasive techniques for oral surgeons and general dentists!
Pioneers Angelo Cardarelli, Luciano Pitzurra, Jared Williams, and Roberto Barone will guide you through both simple and complicated third molar extractions and post-operative complication management.
The lessons are based on video demonstrations of step-by-step protocols for surgical procedures, including:
Performing local anesthesia, including protocols for inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB)
Selection and use of tools and equipment for the extraction of completely bony impacted third molars in the upper and lower jaw
Minimally invasive flap design
Application of piezoelectric devices for minimally invasive third molar extraction
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) application for post-extraction socket wound healing.
