Mastering the Basics of Surgery

Advance Your Skills with a 2-Day Oral Surgery Course

Course Overview

Offering oral surgery as a treatment option is crucial to optimizing your dental practice, allowing you to start handling cases that would otherwise be referred out.

This course is designed for general dentists who wish to learn minor surgical procedures and wish to re-familiarize themselves with basic oral surgery skills. Through a hybrid curriculum that incorporates theory and practical learning, you’ll learn essential dental surgery techniques for complex extractions and minor oral procedures so that general dentists can confidently operate on their cases.

By using pig mandibles, participants will be able to perform simulated scenarios, gaining hands-on exposure to procedures such as raising flaps, removing fractured multi-rooted teeth and submerged roots, and understanding appropriate suturing materials. All demonstrations will be done on a surgical operating microscope and relayed live on lecture theatre screens to show a step-by-step process for all procedures.

Participants are required to bring their loupes. All other equipment and materials are included in this course.

Cadaver Surgery & Anatomy Training Optional Add-On

Cadaver Training Participant Caution Statement

Cadaver-based training is intended solely as an educational experience to enhance anatomical understanding and procedural awareness. Participation in cadaver training does not establish clinical competence and does not replace supervised clinical training on live patients.

Participants are responsible for ensuring that any techniques learned are incorporated into practice only after obtaining appropriate education, training, supervision, and experience, and in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and their legal scope of practice.

What this training includes:

One cadaver per two participants
Real human cadaver tissue
Full mouth clearance sequencing
Full anatomical dissection
Anatomy orientation
Flap handling
Surgical extraction workflow
Identification of vital structures and danger zones
Recognition of real damage points during surgery
Surgical ergonomics and controlled access
Close instructor guidance

Admission Requirements

Enrollment in the optional Cadaver Surgery & Anatomy Training session is restricted to participants who have successfully completed Prep Doctors’ Mastering the Basics of Surgery program or an equivalent foundational surgical training program approved by Prep Doctors.

This prerequisite is required to ensure participants possess the foundational surgical knowledge and skills necessary to safely and effectively participate in advanced anatomy and cadaver-based training.

Eligibility is verified through existing course completion records maintained by Prep Doctors or through documentation submitted by the applicant for review and approval prior to registration.

Educational Necessity

Cadaver-based anatomy and surgical training builds upon foundational surgical concepts, instrumentation, flap design, suturing, bone removal, and extraction techniques previously taught in introductory surgical training. Restricting enrollment to individuals with prior surgical education helps ensure a consistent baseline level of knowledge and maximizes educational outcomes for all participants.

I had an excellent experience with Prep Doctors, and I am truly grateful for the outstanding support especially from Dr. Parnia.

I needed to prepare for the ACJ exam in a very short and intensive period, and honestly, this journey would not have been possible without Dr. Parnia’s guidance, encouragement, and constant support. Her dedication, patience, and deep knowledge made a huge difference in my preparation and confidence.

Prep Doctors is a highly organized and well-structured institute with experienced instructors, clear teaching methods, and a very effective approach to exam preparation. The learning process feels focused, supportive, and goal-oriented throughout.

I highly recommend Prep Doctors to anyone looking for serious, reliable support on their dental exam journey. Thank you to the entire team, and especially to Dr. Parnia, for the incredible support along the way.

Prep Doctors was a huge part of my success in the Canadian dental licensing exams. Their AFK course is extremely well-organized, high-yield, and supported by great instructors and mock exams that actually prepare you for the real test.

A special thank you to Dr. Mina Mustafa — she guided me step by step, answered every question with patience, and genuinely cared about my progress. Her support made a big difference in my AFK journey.

I highly recommend Prep Doctors to anyone preparing for NDEB exams. Their courses and team are truly exceptional.
