MODULE 5: DIAGNOSIS & PLANNING
(1Â AGD/PACE CE Hour)
____
I have been burnt a few times in my career by looking solely at a radiograph and committing to an extraction only to find out that access was poor, the patient was nervous, the health history was complicated, etc. Module 5 teaches you view extraction cases in their entirety to make good choices about which cases to treat and which ones to refer to an oral surgeon.Â

"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!!"
