Description

Practical surgical skills - including tooth removal, plastic surgery, surgical tooth removal, tooth preservation surgery, soft tissue surgery and implant surgery - are often neglected in dental school or taught only at postgraduate level. However, these skills are necessary for any dentist to perform the many basic procedures in general dental practice without raising blood pressure and breaking a sweat. The clinical chapters are all identically divided into indications, contraindications, specific risks, local anesthesia, step-by-step clinical procedures, suturing, wound care and postoperative checks. The text is supplemented with a few relevant literature references. The strength of this book lies in the series of images and links to videos, which can be viewed via QR codes using a smartphone or tablet. This combination of images and videos is ideal for giving students, early career professionals and practicing dentists more confidence before, during and after oral surgical procedures.
