Who is this course for?

• General dental practitioners in primary care
• Dentists looking to improve confidence with surgical extractions

• Manage intra-operative challenges, reducing the risk of complications.
• Suture predictably and confidently, selecting appropriate materials and patterns to support healing.
• Recognise and manage common complications, including dry socket, infection, bleeding, wound breakdown, and neurovascular concerns.
• Apply a safe surgical workflow, including ergonomics, instrument handling, and team communication.
• Translate learning directly to practice through case planning and reflection.
