Course Summary

The diagnosis and management of dental and oral diseases represent a significant component of small animal practice. This modular programme will provide a thorough, informed, case-based approach to such cases. Through lectures, case discussions, and practical sessions, you will learn how to approach the dog, cat, and exotic patient presenting with the various manifestations of oral pathology logically and scientifically.

The modules will assist delegates in developing their knowledge of small animal dentistry and oral surgery and help them apply this knowledge in conjunction with diagnostic aids to their everyday dentistry cases.

Modules

By the end of this module, delegates should be able to: Describe the aetiopathogenesis and pathobiological forms of periodontal disease in the dog and cat; Discuss the assessment of periodontal health using radiography, probing and charting; List the potential hazards associated with periodontal therapy (both to operator and patient); Summarise the evidence-base surrounding potential homecare options; Identify ideal cases which could be referred for periodontal surgery, and briefly explain the techniques involved.
