Canine & Feline Surgical Extractions: Hands-On Flap Design, Tooth Sectioning, Osteoplasty & Closure — June 2027
9 RACE-Approved CE Hours | 6.5 Hours Hands-On Wet Lab | 1 Day | Towson, Maryland
Build surgical extraction skills by actually performing surgical extractions. This intensive one-day veterinary dental CE program is designed for veterinarians who want more confidence, efficiency and predictability when approaching canine and feline surgical extractions.
With 6.5 hours devoted to hands-on wet-lab training, the majority of the day is spent operating—not simply watching. Participants work at individual, fully equipped dental workstations with close faculty guidance and real-time critique.
What you’ll practice:
- Recognizing when a surgical rather than closed extraction is indicated
- Efficient use of high-speed burs for tooth sectioning and controlled osteoplasty
- Mucoperiosteal flap design, tension release and defect coverage
- Controlled elevation and leverage while protecting bone and soft tissue
- Management of difficult access and retained or fractured root fragments
- Appropriate suture selection, mucosal advancement and tension-free closure
- Developing a repeatable surgical workflow that improves efficiency and predictability
The ADTC difference: Every participant has a dedicated workstation, instrumentation and equipment, minimizing time spent waiting or sharing and maximizing hands-on repetition. Small-cohort instruction allows faculty to observe technique, answer case-specific questions and provide immediate feedback throughout the lab.
Who should attend: Veterinarians who want practical surgical extraction training, including clinicians beginning surgical extractions and experienced practitioners seeking to refine technique and efficiency. No prerequisite is required.
Leave with more than notes. Leave having repeatedly performed the procedures and workflows you intend to use in practice.
