Attendees will be provided with access to the Extraction Academy’s online li- brary for the didactic portion of the series (10 C.E.), which they can review at their own convenience, prior or after the live surgical sessions. The live surgical sessions are uniquely designed to include brief morning lec- tures and discuss different approaches to successful exodontia procedures, prior to prescreened surgical cases, each day. The comprehensive program will in- clude clinical preparation, overview of head and neck anatomy, pharmacology, medical emergencies, informed consent policies and protocols, risk management, suturing techniques, management of complications and postoperative care. The late morning and afternoon in- teractive sessions are supplemented by doctors assisting in shoulder-to-shoulder surgeries and video demonstrations. The faculty and presenters will engage with questions, clinical cases and input from the audience, throughout each day. The course is designed to teach mini- mally traumatic tooth extractions, focus- ing on alveolar ridge preservation, when- ever and wherever possible. Participants will learn everything from single-, mul- tiple-, full-mouth to impacted teeth ex- tractions. The presenters will touch upon IV sedation, guided-bone regeneration (GBR) and tips and tricks. Students and faculty will also perform advanced proce- dures such as root tip extractions, wisdom teeth, calcified teeth, sinus precautions or involvement, infected teeth and exposing teeth for orthodontic treatment. The program will include concierge ser- vice and hotel accommodations for dis- tant travelers, visa application invitations for international doctors, breakfast, lunch and a group dinner.
