Overview

The British Association of Oral Surgeons (BAOS) is pleased to partner with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh to introduce a webinar series covering the latest advancements and techniques in oral surgery.  Aimed at both primary and secondary care practitioners, the series focuses on the diagnosis and management of key conditions commonly encountered in practice. The engaging lectures are presented by highly respected oral surgeons from across the country, dedicated to enhancing education for practitioners on a national scale.

Aims

This webinar will provide an understanding of the various 2D and 3D imaging modalities available to use in Oral Surgery and their individual limitations. The lecture also highlights how 3D imaging can be formatted and utilised to justify its use and maximise understanding of the information captured by it.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this webinar, attendees should be able to:

• Understand how to format a CBCT scan to extract all data needed from it.
• Discuss different image modalities used in Oral Surgery and understand their uses and limitations.
• Interpret certain radiological features on a plain xray and be able to determine if further investigation is warranted.
• Identify when a CBCT scan is needed to assess an area further.

Overview

Oral Surgery is a specialty that has for some years been delivered largely in hospitals, meaning GDPs have had to refer their patients and become subsequently unfamiliar with how an oral surgery patient is managed. Now that some oral surgery patients are being managed in primary care, the speaker wishes to furnish GDPs with the familiarity of how oral surgery is performed with a view to empowering them to take on their own cases when appropriate.

Aims

To help GDPs understand how routine dento-alveolar surgery is delivered in dental practice.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this webinar, attendees should be able to:

• Know which cases to refer and which cases to take on in the dental practice setting
• Know how to carefully take a history from oral surgery patients
• Understand the pertinent medical conditions affecting the management of oral surgery patients in primary care
• Understand how to assess oral surgery patients
• Become familiar with oral surgery techniques in dental practice
