Overview
This 4 day hands on course is designed to offer the general dentist with a special interest in minor oral surgery an update on basic oral surgery theory and practice. The learning experience will be based on focused tutorials and the treatment of selected surgical cases under general and local anaesthesia. A course manual will be provided at least one month prior to the commencement date with a pre course assessment so that candidates will have familiarised themselves with core theoretical material and thus allow more time allocation for interactive focused discussion groups and practical application. It is anticipated that 4-6 hours per week should be allocated to complete the required pre reading.
Operating sessions under general and local anaesthesia will be held daily and will be preceded by a series of mini lectures. Between cases short tutorials designed to complement surgical practice will be held. Participants will receive individual mentoring from specialist oral surgeons so that they can be guided step by step through each procedure.
Time will be allocated for debriefing and a system of critiquing will be applied to gauge performance of surgical cases.
