Diagnosis & Planning
I have been burnt a few times in my career by looking only at a radiograph and committing to an extraction before seeing the whole picture.
Access, patient anxiety, health history, difficulty, and timing can all change the plan. This module teaches you how to slow down, assess the case properly, and build a game plan before you ever touch an instrument.

"At the tender age of 65, I decided to dive back into oral surgery. It’s been decades since I did a surgical extraction, but I’ve now successfully done a few juicy ones thanks to Dr. Jason’s excellent teaching. And the biggest gem has been this one little phrase that he uses every time something takes a left turn. I just say to myself, “So…no big deal…” and move on to plan B! Great stuff!!"
