Basic Oral Surgery (Epub & Converted to PDF)

Practical Oral Surgery Skills

Elevate Your Dental Practice with Essential Oral Surgery Techniques

Practical oral surgery skills—such as tooth removal, plastic surgery, surgical tooth removal,
tooth-preserving surgery, soft tissue surgery, and implant surgery—are often overlooked in dental
school education or are only taught at the postgraduate level. However, these skills are crucial
for every dentist to perform the basic procedures in general dental practice confidently and competently.

This book focuses exclusively on the fundamental oral surgical procedures that are necessary
for daily practice in the dental office. Each clinical chapter is systematically organized into
indications, contraindications, specific risks, local anesthesia, step-by-step clinical procedure,
wound care and closure, and postoperative controls. The text is supplemented by a selection of relevant
literature references.

The true strength of this book lies in its rich array of images and embedded videos, accessible via
QR codes for viewing on smartphones or tablets. This combination aims to enhance the confidence of
students, early-career professionals, and practitioners before, during, and after oral surgical interventions.
