Veterinary Oral Trauma: Fracture Stabilization & Soft-Tissue Repair — November 2026
24 RACE-Approved CE Hours | 13+ Hours Hands-On Wet Lab | 3 Days | Towson, Maryland When an oral trauma case arrives, the challenge is not simply knowing the options—it is knowing what to do next and having the technical ability to do it. The Oral Injury Toolkit is an immersive three-day veterinary CE program focused on the diagnosis, stabilization and surgical management of dental trauma, maxillofacial fractures and complex oral soft-tissue injuries. More than 13 hours are dedicated to hands-on training so participants can translate treatment concepts into practiced technique. Training includes: Systematic assessment of acute dental and maxillofacial trauma Integration of clinical findings with dental radiography and advanced imaging Vital pulp therapy and restoration of traumatically fractured teeth Planning treatment when dental, osseous and soft-tissue injuries occur together Interdental wiring, intraosseous fixation and maxillomandibular fixation principles Bone grafting strategies for traumatic osseous defects Pedicle and axial-pattern flap concepts for oral reconstruction Repair of oronasal fistulas, palatal defects and complex soft-tissue injuries Restoration of occlusion and function following maxillofacial trauma Designed for active learning: ADTC participants train at individual workstations using dedicated instrumentation and equipment. Small-group instruction creates repeated opportunities for faculty observation, technical correction and detailed discussion—not merely demonstration from the front of the room. Who should attend: Veterinarians who want a structured, hands-on approach to oral trauma and already possess foundational dentistry and oral-surgery skills. Clinical proficiency in oral radiology is required.

Intermediate Canine Dentistry Beyond the Fundamentals in Practice
This 16-hour CE course (8 hours of lecture and 8 hours of laboratory) is for veterinarians only. It is recommended that registrants have completed a fundamental course with us, or equivalent course with another Diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College, as basic fundamental concepts are presumed and built upon. It is instructed by two Board Certified Veterinary Dentists®. The 8-hour didactic course curriculum will start with a visual photographic and radiographic tour of hidden canine oral pathology. Step-by-step oronasal fistula repair will be presented. Fractured teeth and bonded resin sealants will be discussed and covered step-by-step. Surgical extraction of the maxillary molars and surgical site closure will be presented. Surgical complications, prevention and management will be presented. Periodontal treatments beyond a periodontal cleaning, including but not limited to, bone augmentation, guided tissue regeneration, osseous resective surgery, open root planing, and periodontal treatments will be presented. The laboratory portion will be hands on wet lab (canine cadavers and teaching models) instruction for oronosal fistula repair, surgical extractions of caudal maxillary dentition, application of bonded sealants, bone augmentation and guided tissue regeneration, and periodontal surgery. The course will provide canine dentistry education and skills for primary care veterinary practice.
