S-3 Procedures, Molar Surgery Demystified
CE Hours: 1.5 CE hour
Although every specialist completed their training with varying degrees of surgical training, most practitioners find maxillary and mandibular posterior procedures daunting at best. Access to the site, positioning dynamics and proximity to vital structures compile a unique set of challenges. However, if the selected procedure is analyzed correctly preoperatively, and the various stages of the surgery are compartmentalized and understood, the comfort level of the operator is enhanced and the task can prove less overwhelming. The goal of this presentation is to demonstrate, using a multimedia format, various techniques and technologies that improve the acquisition and performance within the surgical site, and augment the skills that the surgeon already possesses.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Analyze, using Virtual Surgery, the proposed surgical site and treatment plan the procedure accordingly.
- Describe the various positional scenarios, and the steps/techniques to enhance access to the field.
- Propose the steps taken to avert or alleviate complications such as hemorrhage, sinus exposure, neurovascular exposure or postoperative discomfort.
