Join us for an 8 CE HR wet lab! This course will provide comprehensive instruction on the extraction of dog teeth including preparation of a mucoperiosteal flap, sectioning of mutli-rooted teeth, appropriate bone removal and elevation of the crown and root. The course will start with a lecture on approaches to extraction including simple elevation of single rooted teeth to different options of mucoperiosteal flaps for elevation of more complicated mutli-rooted teeth. Instruction on the correct application of local blocks will also be provided. ​
