Topics covered will include: * Overview of minor oral surgery in general dental practice * Effective local anaesthesia * Simulated oral surgery procedures on models such as surgical removal of lower molar roots and impacted lower third molars * Hands-on training in flap design, bone removal and suturing on models * Selection criteria for dento-alveolar referral from primary to secondary care. Oral surgery practices will be performed on Oral Surgery Jaw Models in the well-equipped Dental Simulation Suite, Kadoorie Skills Centre Oxford JRH. The course is run in an informal setting where questions and debate are actively encouraged. Delegates are encouraged to bring radiographs of MOS referrals that 'haven't met the criteria for referral to secondary care' and/or cases they would like to discuss with our speakers.
