Main Talking Points:

1. Preventing mandibular fractures during extractions with compromised bone.

2. Addressing cysts in canine patients and the risks of bone loss.

3. Techniques to manage dehiscence in brachycephalic breeds.

4. Using jugular blood samples for defect healing post-extraction.

5. Breed predisposition to dentigerous cysts (brachycephalic breeds like Boxers, Boston Terriers, and Pugs).

 

 

Interesting Quotes:

• "Slow, deliberate, sustained extraction force with an luxator elevator allows us to have control and prevent mandible fractures."

• "When we have a large bone defect, using a jugular sample helps fill the defect and promote healing."
