Course Description:
Most general dentists learn a significant portion of their oral surgical procedures by actually “practicing” the procedures on their patients, since a minimal amount of education and experience is offered during dental school. By watching this video, you have an opportunity to learn from one of the most surgically experienced GPs in the profession. Dr. Koerner offers pragmatic, simple instructions that you can confidently integrate into your practice. Surgical procedures in the presentation include: frenectomy, surgical biopsies, apicoectomy, hemi sections, removal of exostoses, incision and drainage, and other useful procedures. Your patients will benefit by your incorporation of these procedures into your practice, and your “bottom-line” will increase.
