SubjectOral Surgery
DescriptionThe NICE recommendations regarding third molar removal achieved its initial aim of reducing the NHS bill, but now the rate of removal is climbing back to pre-NICE levels, but with a more vulnerable patient cohort. Professor Renton will illuminate this and other issues in Oral Surgery supported by research that she and her colleagues have been carrying out. This evening event is run in conjunction with the Plymouth BDA Section.
