The course is designed to give dental students a sound grounding of the main techniques used in odontostomatological surgery.
After an initial in-depth study of the oral cavity anatomy (great attention is focused on the most important key anatomical structures that are encountered during clinical practice) the main surgical interventions will be described in detail, highlighting the guide-lines and contraindications that distinguish odontostomatological surgery.
Dental avulsion (simple and complex), the extraction of impacted dental elements, maxillary cysts, the surgical-orthodontic retrieval of impacted teeth, the apicoectomy technique are the core subjects of the course, as well as an introductory outline of implantology and guided tissue regeneration, propaedeutic to the following courses. Great attention will be also focused on the criteria for the management of the surgical flap and the intra- and postoperative complications.
