WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

This workshop aims to help general dental practitioners perform surgical removal of impacted third molars more Swiftly, Smoothly and Safely under local anaesthesia.

This is achieved by a series of lectures with supplementary clinical notes that will enhance theoretical knowledge essential in minor oral surgery. Comprehensive teaching and clinical hands-on experience is provided through demonstration and practice on customised impacted tooth-jaw model with close mentor supervision. Tips from years of training and experience will also be shared to improve your competence and confidence in performing difficult impacted third molar surgeries according to established standards of care at your own dental practice setting in the future.
