education4 CDA Presents — May 2, 2015 Ad By Nadean Burkett, Extraction Academy n It is estimated that more than 20 million teeth are extracted each year in the United States. Although it is considered a routine procedure, it is also one in which the most complica- tions occur, including infection and pain, leading to discord in the doctor- patient relationship. Is it any wonder that extractions are the procedure most feared by patients and referred out by general practitioners? To address this clinical chal- lenge, Nexus Dentistry has devel- oped the Extraction Academy. Dr. Gregory Greenwood, chief dental officer of Nexus, is an internation- ally renowned lecturer on the latest trendsinoral,IM,INandIVconscious sedation in dentistry and is a mentor to clinicians who want to master their knowledge and skills in surgical pro- cedures. This is particularly relevant in tooth extraction, which arguably is the most difficult procedure to per- form successfully. The development of the Extraction Academy program was a collabora- tion with Greenwood’s colleague, Dr. Kianor Shah, the visionary of the project.Althougheverydentalschool teaches students how to extract a tooth, it is stigmatized by the public as the most brutal dental procedure. Greenwood and Shah share the belief that just because every den- tist is trained to extract teeth does not mean they should. With current advancements and technology avail- able, extractions can be done safely and more comfortably for the patient. ThesuccessoftheExtractionAcad- emy program is based on the teach- ings of both theory and technique, including how to avoid complications and retain a patient for life. The skills learned and practiced by those dentists in the program are beneficial to both patient and doctor.

For Greenwood and his colleagues at the Extraction Academy, the rewardsintheirteachingandmentor- ship with dentists are realized most profoundly by the positive feedback of doctors who employ these tech- niques in their practice. They also immensely appreci- ate the tremendous outpouring of support from their sponsors, which allows them to fulfill their commit- ment to global community outreach by working with charitable organi- zations, such as The Wisdom Tooth Project, Oral Health America and Mercy Ships, to provide access to quality clinical care to those less for- tunate around the world.
