Introduction to Complex Extractions

Dr. Richard Moore provides a structured, clinically driven introduction to advanced and complex dental extractions, emphasising the importance of thorough patient assessment, risk–benefit analysis, and shared decision-making. Dr. Moore outlines a practical algorithmic approach to extractions progressing from luxation to flapless surgery and flap-based techniques while stressing bone preservation, minimal trauma, and restoratively driven planning.

Through real clinical cases examples, you will learn flap design, tooth sectioning, piezosurgery, haemostasis in anticoagulated patients, and management of challenging scenarios involving dense bone, retained roots, sinus proximity, and high-risk anatomy.
