Course Description
This is a one semester pre-clinical course during the 3rd year. It is an introductory course to the oral and maxillofacial surgery. It consists of didactic and practical components. The didactic component covers the theoretical aspects of applied surgical anatomy, local anesthesia and the principle of tooth extractions.
While the practical component skills to be learnt to administer local anesthesia successfully as well as perform tooth extraction. Both these skills (LA and exodontia) will be practiced on a simulation models.
Main Objectives
After completing this course, students should be able to:
- Describe the applied surgical anatomical considerations related to Local Anaesthesia & Exodontia.
- Discuss the concepts and mechanisms of pain & innervations (neurophysiology)
- Recognize the pharmacokinetics and the pharmacodynamics of local anaesthetic drugs
- Recognize the properties of different types of local anesthetic drugs and vasoconstrictors used in dental practice
- Describe the different techniques of local anaesthesia
- Identify complications of local anesthesia (local & systemic complications)
- Discuss the Medical assessment of patients before LA and tooth extraction
- Identify the indications, contraindications and complications of Exodontia
- Select appropriate surgical armamentarium.
- Perform different techniques of local anesthesia on a simulation model.
- Perform simple tooth extraction on a simulation model.
