Mastering Oral Surgery: Essential Skills for Every Dentist

Authors: Andreas Filippi, Fabio Saccardin, and Sebastian Khl

In dental school, practical oral surgery skills often take a backseat to other topics or are only taught post-graduation. However, having a solid foundation in oral surgery is crucial for every dentist to perform minor procedures in their general practice with confidence and ease.

The Gap in Dental Education

The skills required to perform procedures like tooth extractions, plastic covering, and implant surgery are essential for every dentist. Yet, many dental professionals lack the necessary expertise to carry out these procedures successfully, which can lead to increased blood pressure and anxiety in both the patient and the dentist.

Filling the Knowledge Gap

This comprehensive guide focuses on the simple yet essential oral surgery procedures that dentists encounter daily in their practice. Each clinical chapter is structured to provide a step-by-step guide, covering:

• Indications and contraindications (absolute and temporary)
• Specific risks and complications
• Local anesthesia and clinical procedures
• Wound care and closure
• Post-operative checks and follow-ups

Richly illustrated with image series and accompanied by video links, accessible via smartphone or tablet, this book aims to provide students, new professionals, and experienced practitioners with the confidence and skills they need to perform oral surgery interventions with ease.
