As Christian dentists, we want to provide our patients with the best
care possible. Exodontia is one of the
most basic needs among patient populations, especially the underserved. While we
may not feel comfortable with every extraction case, basic exodontia is a
much-needed service both in the domestic clinical setting as well as abroad in
volunteer venues. This lecture will serve to educate, empower, and encourage
dentists in the area of exodontia.
Objectives:
- Refute four common myths that often discourage providers from delivering immediate treatment.
- Identify conditions that warrant and those that do not warrant antibiotic therapy.
- Identify both standard and surgical armamentarium/procedures used to traumatically remove various maxillary and mandibular teeth.
