PennWell and OnlineOralSurgery have partnered to bring you the first program of Practical Oral Surgery for the Practicing Dentist. We begin with “Basics of Oral Surgery”, which covers some fundamental concepts involving the surgical removal of erupted teeth. In dental school, there is time to teach only very simple exodontia. Many dentists are faced daily with patients who need more advanced surgical treatment, yet do not have the option of sending their patient to the oral surgeon. They must treat the patient in their own practices, even though they do not feel totally qualified to do so. This course consists of five modules that cover topics that will help the course participant improve their competence and confidence when performing basic oral surgery procedures.

Chlorhexidine gluconate is an effective bactericidal agent and broad-spectrum antimicrobial drug. It has been extensively researched and is the “gold standard” antimicrobial in oral hygiene. Chlorhexidine is useful in many clinical disciplines including periodontics, endodontics, oral surgery and operative dentistry.

Dental implants are a well-accepted treatment for the replacement of missing teeth. An estimated two million implants are placed annually, and it can be anticipated that an increasing number of implants will be placed and need to be maintained in the coming years. The intraoral environment and overall health of an individual patient influence patient selection/implant candidacy and the outcome of implant therapy. Factors affecting the intraoral environment include the patient’s heath status, medication use, level of oral hygiene, and habits such as smoking and drinking. Oral hygiene is an important determinant of implant success, as it is with the health of the natural dentition. Brushing and flossing are also critical success factors, requiring considerable patient education and motivation, and adjunctive therapy may be considered. With careful patient selection and patient commitment to oral hygiene measures, the potential for long-term success and implant health is excellent.

It has been estimated that more than 40 million teeth were extracted in 1999. An atraumatic extraction technique, together with ridge and site preservation, is important for function and esthetics following tooth replacement. This is particularly true if an implant is being contemplated for the extraction site. Atraumatic tooth extraction using the least-invasive procedure possible is the first step. Current techniques used for ridge and site preservation include the use of bone graft materials and/or resorbable membranes. Ideally, at the end of the process the area will be filled with vital, mineralized bone. A combination technique using deproteinized bovine bone grafting material and a resorbable collagen membrane has been found to produce a consistently preserved alveolar ridge at the site. The addition of a temporary ovate pontic helps to preserve and develop soft tissue contours during healing. Use of an appropriate technique preserves alveolar ridge anatomy, facilitates prosthetic management, optimizes function and esthetics, and enables the patient to be treated in a shorter time and with fewer surgical procedures.

Case acceptance, especially for those patients facing complex procedures such as implant dentistry, is a major factor for many dental health professionals. However, the failure of patients to carry through with a recommended course of treatment is not an insurmountable problem. Through a discussion of the various issues involved in case acceptance, this course addresses how the dentist can increase the odds of patient retention over time. This course includes analyses of patient readiness, psychological contributors from the patient’s point of view, and ways in which the dentist’s perception of the patient can positively or negatively influence case acceptance.

Dental extractions are a commonly performed surgical procedure in the United States. There are a number of factors that determine difficulties related to extractions, including root morphology and proximity to anatomical structures, bleeding, post-operative swelling and infection. Dental professionals performing extractions must conduct a full pre-operative evaluation, and must be prepared to deal with extraction difficulties and complications.

Atraumatic dental extraction requires a complete preoperative assessment of the patient prior to surgery. The clinician must know the patient’s medical status, and assess the level of difficulty of the extraction. During the extraction procedure, basic atraumatic surgical techniques must be followed and the clinician must be prepared to manage complications should they arise.
