Veterinary Oral Surgery & Radiology: Challenging Extractions, Ectomies & Fracture Repair — April–May 2027

24 RACE-Approved CE Hours | 15.5 Hours Hands-On Laboratory | 3 Days | Towson, Maryland

Build the diagnostic and surgical skills needed to progress from routine dentistry into more capable small-animal oral surgery.

ADTC’s Oral Surgery 1+2 / Radiology program is a concentrated three-day veterinary CE experience integrating dental radiology, challenging extractions, advanced flap technique, introductory maxillectomy/mandibulectomy procedures and basic jaw-fracture repair.

The course deliberately links imaging and surgical decision-making: participants first strengthen their ability to identify and define disease radiographically, then apply those findings to procedural planning and hands-on surgical treatment. Across the three days, participants receive 15.5 hours of laboratory training.

Training includes:

• Dental radiographic technique, positioning and interpretation
• Recognition of important dental and oral pathology
• Treatment planning using clinical and radiographic findings together
• Challenging canine and feline surgical extractions
• Advanced flap creation, tissue mobilization and tension-free closure
• Management and closure of maxillary oronasal defects
• Mucogingival pedicle-flap techniques
• Introductory rostral mandibulectomy and maxillectomy techniques
• Basic principles and practical techniques for jaw-fracture repair
• Prevention and management of common oral-surgical complications

Designed around procedural repetition: Participants train at individual, fully equipped workstations with direct access to instructors throughout the laboratory portions. ADTC’s purpose-built format minimizes equipment sharing and maximizes the time available to perform, troubleshoot and refine each procedure.

Who should attend: Veterinarians seeking a substantial progression beyond routine dentistry and basic extractions. No formal prerequisite is required.

This course is designed to connect diagnosis, planning and surgery so participants return to practice with a broader range of procedures they understand—and have already practiced performing.
