This advanced course is designed to advance the diagnostic and technical proficiency of participants across a range of clinically relevant scenarios involving oral and maxillofacial trauma in dogs and cats. The curriculum comprises two full days of intensive training in the principles and application of internal fixation for the repair of mandibular and maxillofacial fractures. Participants will acquire and apply a range of surgical approaches utilizing various internal fixation techniques to manage oral and maxillofacial fractures, thereby gaining exposure to clinically representative scenarios and a diversity of repair modalities. In addition, the participants will also study and perform soft tissue reconstruction using skin flap techniques (advancement and axial pattern) for the repair of extensive soft tissue trauma. The theoretical lectures establish the conceptual foundation necessary to understand and execute each procedure, addressing relevant diagnostic imaging modalities and the traumatic conditions most frequently encountered in dogs and cats requiring surgical repair. The course further adopts a systematic approach to common and advanced clinical scenarios encountered before, during, and after surgical intervention. Hands-on laboratory sessions are structured to progress sequentially from diagnostic imaging and surgical planning to definitive oral and maxillofacial fracture repair. The management of oral and maxillofacial trauma presents considerable clinical challenges and necessitates advanced, scenario-based training. Course Outcomes Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: 1) Evaluate the benefits and limitations of advanced diagnostic imaging modalities 2) Demonstrate advanced competency in the management of basic and complex oral and maxillofacial fractures 3) Apply open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) techniques for the repair of oral and maxillofacial fractures 4) Perform reconstruction of soft tissue defects using skin flap techniques Learning Objectives Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: 1) Describe the indications, benefits, and limitations of various diagnostic imaging modalities relevant to oral and maxillofacial trauma 2) Explain the concept and clinical application of internal fixation in the maxillofacial region 3) Apply a combination of surgical approaches and internal fixation techniques (ORIF) to the management of oral and maxillofacial fractures 4) Perform soft tissue reconstruction using advanced skin flap techniques MAIN SPEAKER Dr. Boaz Arzi | DVM, Dipl.

24 RACE-Approved CE Hours | 15.5 Hours Hands-On Laboratory | 3 Days | Towson, Maryland Build the diagnostic and surgical skills needed to progress from routine dentistry into more capable small-animal oral surgery. ADTC’s Oral Surgery 1+2 / Radiology program is a concentrated three-day veterinary CE experience integrating dental radiology, challenging extractions, advanced flap technique, introductory maxillectomy/mandibulectomy procedures and basic jaw-fracture repair. The course deliberately links imaging and surgical decision-making: participants first strengthen their ability to identify and define disease radiographically, then apply those findings to procedural planning and hands-on surgical treatment. Across the three days, participants receive 15.5 hours of laboratory training. Training includes: Dental radiographic technique, positioning and interpretation Recognition of important dental and oral pathology Treatment planning using clinical and radiographic findings together Challenging canine and feline surgical extractions Advanced flap creation, tissue mobilization and tension-free closure Management and closure of maxillary oronasal defects Mucogingival pedicle-flap techniques Introductory rostral mandibulectomy and maxillectomy techniques Basic principles and practical techniques for jaw-fracture repair Prevention and management of common oral-surgical complications Designed around procedural repetition: Participants train at individual, fully equipped workstations with direct access to instructors throughout the laboratory portions. ADTC’s purpose-built format minimizes equipment sharing and maximizes the time available to perform, troubleshoot and refine each procedure. Who should attend: Veterinarians seeking a substantial progression beyond routine dentistry and basic extractions. No formal prerequisite is required. This course is designed to connect diagnosis, planning and surgery so participants return to practice with a broader range of procedures they understand—and have already practiced performing.

9 RACE-Approved CE Hours | 6.5 Hours Hands-On Wet Lab | 1 Day | Towson, Maryland Build surgical extraction skills by actually performing surgical extractions. This intensive one-day veterinary dental CE program is designed for veterinarians who want more confidence, efficiency and predictability when approaching canine and feline surgical extractions. With 6.5 hours devoted to hands-on wet-lab training, the majority of the day is spent operating—not simply watching. Participants work at individual, fully equipped dental workstations with close faculty guidance and real-time critique. What you’ll practice: Recognizing when a surgical rather than closed extraction is indicated Efficient use of high-speed burs for tooth sectioning and controlled osteoplasty Mucoperiosteal flap design, tension release and defect coverage Controlled elevation and leverage while protecting bone and soft tissue Management of difficult access and retained or fractured root fragments Appropriate suture selection, mucosal advancement and tension-free closure Developing a repeatable surgical workflow that improves efficiency and predictability The ADTC difference: Every participant has a dedicated workstation, instrumentation and equipment, minimizing time spent waiting or sharing and maximizing hands-on repetition. Small-cohort instruction allows faculty to observe technique, answer case-specific questions and provide immediate feedback throughout the lab. Who should attend: Veterinarians who want practical surgical extraction training, including clinicians beginning surgical extractions and experienced practitioners seeking to refine technique and efficiency. No prerequisite is required. Leave with more than notes. Leave having repeatedly performed the procedures and workflows you intend to use in practice. READY TO BUILD YOUR SURGICAL EXTRACTION SKILLS?
