Day 15

Today I assisted with a complex surgical extractions and bilateral tori removal by Dr. Fleenor. Assisted with another full-mouth extractions as it really helps me see everything close up and personal.

Dr. Fleenor uses continuous sutures and they look something like this but much better ;)

Then I extracted teeth #6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Patient had very dense bone and I have learned to use the rongeur to extract fractured roots. I also delivered a set of dentures. Patient was very satisfied and said they fit much better than his old set of dentures.
