This wet lab will provide practical experience in performing complex dental extractions in small animals, focusing on surgical approaches that minimize trauma and promote optimal healing. Through guided instruction and supervised exercises, attendees will refine their skills in flap design, bone removal, tooth sectioning, and alveolar management. List of exercises: Flap creation for successful closure of maxillary molar extraction, extraction of retained roots in the mandible and mandibular canal, radiographic guidance techniques to retrieve root fragments and perform ectopic tooth extractions.
