This is Part 8. The assessment of a tooth requiring extraction and a live minor oral surgery procedure for a surgical extraction of a lower molar.

Aim:

• Identify the main steps needed to undertake an extraction of a lower molar

Objectives:

• Be able to describe the anatomical things to consider prior to extraction
• Be able to identify the factors that may affect the extraction process and therefore be prepared for any unexpected outcomes
• Be able to describe and apply the steps for a surgical extaction including raising a flap, bone removal and suturing
• Be able to identify and see what to do when the tooth breaks unexpectedly

Learning outcome:

• By the end of this learning, the learner will be able to describe and apply the principles for a sound surgical extraction for a lower molar and how to adapt to unexpected outcomes
