Make Extractions Less Difficult: Regain Confidence by Sectioning and Elevating Teeth [B2B] – PDP085


Listen Later

I know some of our colleagues who have completely lost confidence in extractions and they are crippled by the thought of failure or having to ‘start a surgical’. I think being good at exodontia is fundamental for successful Dentists and it was my mission to bring on Oral Surgeon Chris Waith who will help you regain your confidence. The secret, we think, lies in your ability to section and elevate roots! Listen or watch now to find out why – guest featuring Dr Zak Kara!

Protrusive Dental Pearl: Be able to section teeth. If you can learn how to section roots and know WHEN to do it and HOW to do it safely, you will dramatically increase your success rate for dental extractions.

“I always say to Dentists that you should have a plan A, plan B, plan C etc. Don’t just go in with plan A and carry on with it..” – Dr Chris Waith

Dr Chris Waith and Dr Zak Kara are here to join help us in stepping up our extractions game.
