Oral surgery involves a number of routine and complex procedures including dental (wisdom) extractions, dental implant and alveolar surgery, bone grafting and sinus lifts. A number of which are not practiced at the undergraduate level. This could be further complicated by the patient’s medical condition, medications used, physiology and psychology. This webinar aims to discuss these factors to identify the risk factors, to reduce complications, to improve clinical outcome and how to deal with complications when they occur.
