    Module 2 Overview

    Medical Considerations

    Sometimes we focus so much on the tooth we are extracting that we fail to remember the big picture! This module touches upon the medical conditions that afflict our patients and helps you to understand the interplay between these conditions and oral surgery procedures. This knowledge will help to limit adverse events in the dental chair and will ensure the safety and well-being of your patients, which should always be your number one priority.
