Would you like to see how an experienced Oral Surgeon can remove all 4 wisdom teeth in under 10 minutes? This video shows the complete surgical procedure for the removal of four impacted wisdom teeth in a patient under intravenous sedation. Run time 11:32
Subcutaneous air emphysema is a rare but dramatic complication in dentistry. It is due to air being driven into the perioral soft tissues during a dental procedure. This video discusses the etiology and treatment of this complication. It can be prevented by the use of a rear-venting handpiece for surgical procedures. Duration – 16:32
Guided Implant Surgery has revolutionized implantology. In this case, this technology is used to place an implant at the time of extraction in to the most ideal position. A custom provisional crown was prepared ahead of time that fitted precisely on the implant at surgery, without any adjustment. The workflow to accomplish this is discussed.…
In this video, Dr. Reznick discusses the removal of a bony impacted mandibular 3rd molar in a medically-compromised 92 year old woman. Special considerations in this case are discussed. Run time 8:17
This course covers the basics of managing the common intraoperative and postoperative complications that can occur with any oral surgical procedure. Duration- 36:02
The anterior esthetic zone presents unique challenges to the implant surgeon. In this region, perfect implant placement is critical to get a good esthetic and functional result. The extraction-immediate implant case is especially complicated, since it is easy for the implant to become redirected during drilling and/or placement, even in the hands of an experienced…
This video shows the technique for removing a small buccal exostosis from the lateral maxilla using an osteotome. Duration 6:20.
Oral surgery is more than just taking out teeth and placing implants. It also includes the evaluation and management of pathological lesions of the mucosa and within the bones of the face and jaws. Some of these are quite common and seen frequently in practice. Others are more rare. The process to evaluate and manage…
This is another lesson in our series discussing intraoperative surgical complications. Preoperative evaluation of the patient and radiographs should alert the clinician to potential pitfalls. Should they occur, prior planning will help manage the situation and avoid untoward consequences. Run Time 13:18.
This video shows a case using the BioHorizons Guided Surgery kit in which a ridge-split was performed to widen a narrow alveolar ridge and allow placement of four dental implants to replaced a failed maxillary anterior bridge. Using the available technology to plan accurate surgery and create a surgical guide to direct implant placement, the…
This video is not coupled with continuing education credits. The integration of cone beam technology and 3D imaging has advanced the practice of digital dentistry. CT-guided implant planning combined with the use of a Computer Guided Surgery (CGS) implant placement kit leads to increased precision, accuracy and efficiency of implant placement. To realize the full…
An infected maxillary molar can encroach upon the maxillary sinus and create an oral-antral fistula when extracted. Large defects will not close on their own. When this complication is anticipated, surgery is planned to close the defect primarily. This video demonstrates a technique to do just that. Run time- 17:05
