Intermediate Canine Dentistry Beyond the Fundamentals in Practice

Course overview

This 16-hour CE course (8 hours of lecture and 8 hours of laboratory) is for veterinarians only. It is recommended that registrants have completed a fundamental course with us, or equivalent course with another Diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College, as basic fundamental concepts are presumed and built upon. It is instructed by two Board Certified Veterinary Dentists. The 8-hour didactic course curriculum will start with a visual photographic and radiographic tour of hidden canine oral pathology. Step-by-step oronasal fistula repair will be presented. Fractured teeth and bonded resin sealants will be discussed and covered step-by-step. Surgical extraction of the maxillary molars and surgical site closure will be presented. Surgical complications, prevention, and management will be presented. Periodontal treatments beyond periodontal cleaning, including but not limited to, bone augmentation, guided tissue regeneration, osseous resective surgery, open root planing, and periodontal treatments will be presented. The course will provide canine dentistry education and skills for primary care veterinary practice.
