Level and Prerequisites:
This
intermediate course will be open to veterinarians
actively interested in veterinary dentistry, specifically exodontia.
VIN CE Course: Open to veterinarians.
This course has been RACE approved for veterinarians.
The Veterinary Information Network (VIN) is RACE Provider #22.
Course Description:
This course is designed to focus on canine and feline dentistry in order to
strengthen the attendee's knowledge and skills in dog and cat exodontia.
Complete oral examination, charting, and treatment planning will be thoroughly
reviewed. Discussion of intraoral radiographic acquisition and interpretation,
periodontal disease, gingivostomatitis, tooth resorption, common oral tumors,
and extraction techniques will be presented with numerous visual aids to
enhance learning and increase retention for the attendees. Pathophysiology
and treatment planning for the aforementioned diseases will be covered.
Clinical cases will be used to set the stage for step-by-step presentations
for canine tooth extractions with heavy emphasis on being able to predict
the difficult tooth extraction, extraction pitfalls and complications will
be presented to help attendees minimize complications and address
complications if they should occur in clinical practice. The laboratory
will provide the opportunity to put clinical skills into practice.
The VIN CE online portion of the course
consists of three (3) 2-hour Real Time Sessions, supplemental library materials,
interactive message board discussions, and a mandatory end-of-course test.
Successful completion (scoring 80% or better)
on the end-of-course test is required to earn a certificate of completion for
the course.
*The instructors will be using audio to answer questions during the real time sessions,
please be prepared to listen.
The in-person portion of the course
will consist of two (2) consecutive days of laboratory experience held in the
Oquendo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Upon completion of this course, the participant should be able to
- Understand clinical presentations, current knowledge of pathophysiology,
diagnostics and treatment options and techniques for canine periodontal
disease, tooth resorption, fractured teeth, and common oral neoplasia.
- Produce and interpret canine intraoral radiographs.
- Perform surgical extractions of the dog dentition.
- Increase knowledge, confidence, and skill level in diagnosing and
treating canine dental and oral diseases.
Course Materials: Course materials will be available
in the course library prior to each Real Time Session.
