Oral surgery - from the solid foundation to clinical advancement. Modular training program with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Evgeniy Alexiev

Basic information

The modular program in oral surgery is a structured training aimed at building a solid theoretical and practical foundation in oral surgery, with a clear focus on clinical applicability. The course is conceived as an introduction and sequential refinement of key surgical skills that are fundamental not only for surgical interventions but also for everyday dental practice.

The training follows a logical, progressive path — from the anatomical and physiological prerequisites of pain and its effective control, through basic surgical maneuvers and tissue handling, to tooth and root extractions, also considered from a contemporary implantology perspective. Each module combines an in-depth theoretical part with practical training, including exercises, work with instruments, models and observation of clinical demonstrations.

The program is aimed at dental practitioners who wish to build confidence, predictability and a systematic approach in oral surgical procedures, laying the foundations for future advancement and ongoing professional development


Benefits for participants

  • Building solid and applicable knowledge in oral surgery that serves as a foundation for safe and predictable clinical practice.

Module 1: Anesthesia in Oral Surgery and Dental Medicine

Module 1 lays the foundations of a safe and calm dental practice, focusing on the anatomical, pharmacological and clinical principles of local anesthesia. Participants will become thoroughly acquainted with the mechanisms of pain in the orofacial region and with the anatomical prerequisites that determine the success or failure of anesthesia.

Theory

  • Familiarization with the anatomical prerequisites of pain in the orofacial region;
  • The instrumentation – knowledge is a guarantee for a painless start;
  • Local anesthetics – the key to calm in dental medicine;
  • Methods of success – injection techniques and their application;
  • The secret of difficult clinical cases and practical solutions for their successful management.

Practice

  • Practical exercises with instrumentation for local anesthesia;
  • Dose calculation for patients with comorbidities;
  • Observation of different injection techniques for anesthesia;
  • Anesthesia in difficult clinical cases.
