Basic Oral Surgery

Description

Practical Oral Surgery Skills Elevate Your Dental Practice with Essential Oral Surgery Techniques Practical oral surgery skills—such as tooth removal, plastic surgery, surgical tooth removal, tooth-preserving surgery, soft tissue surgery, and implant surgery—are often overlooked in dental school education or are only taught at the postgraduate level. However, these skills are crucial for every dentist to perform the basic procedures in general dental practice confidently and competently. This book focuses exclusively on the fundamental oral surgical procedures that are necessary for daily practice in the dental office. Each clinical chapter is systematically organized into indications, contraindications, specific risks, local anesthesia, step-by-step clinical procedure, wound care and closure, and postoperative controls. The text is supplemented by a selection of relevant literature references. The true strength of this book lies in its rich array of images and embedded videos, accessible via QR codes for viewing on smartphones or tablets. This combination aims to enhance the confidence of students, early-career professionals, and practitioners before, during, and after oral surgical interventions.
