Extractions and Grafting for the GP

A personalized course with Dr. Steven Rasner

Surgical procedures for the GP

This is a unique opportunity to spend two full days performing a variety of surgical procedures, with Dr. Rasner right there to guide you when needed. Each day starts with a brief lecture period, followed by a full day of surgery. Doctors work in teams of two, taking turns as doctor and assistant.

Course description

This intimate course is limited to eight doctors. We strive to meet each attendee where they are in their surgical journey. Cases will be assigned based on the experience and goals of the participants. All patients will be ASA 1 or 2, and all will be monitored during treatment. Participants will work in teams of two, taking turns as doctor and assistant.

You will perform surgeries both days

The ultimate goal in any extraction is to leave the site prepared to receive an implant, even if an implant is not in the patient’s immediate plans. With that in mind, the day opens with discussion of techniques designed to leave the socket intact and repair it when necessary.

Upon registration, each doctor will be asked their goals for the course. We do our best to match those goals with the available case load.

All patients are sedated with Dr. Rasner’s protocol, which we will cover in the lecture. We anesthetize the patients for you, so your time is spent performing procedures. Doctors will work in teams of two, taking turns as doctor and assistant. Dr. Rasner will review the case with you and then be available for guidance as needed.

Cases that are seen at every course include teeth broken below the gingiva and teeth adjacent to delicate esthetics. We spend about ninety minutes in lecture each morning, and the remainder of the day, you are performing surgery.

  • Understand techniques to address any tooth
