This course is designed to provide students with standard clinical knowledge and experience in clinical local analgesia and dento-alveolar extraction procedures and problems associated therewith. Year 2 students would have had the necessary foundation knowledge of the basic sciences which are reinforced in the discussion of clinical scenarios and observation of patient cases requiring local analgesia and dental extraction management. Students are encouraged to expand their competency development not only in the development of clinical skills, but also in acquiring attitudinal attributes of empathy, sensitivity to patient feelings and situations, and application to a variety of settings. This course serves to guide the students towards the clinical application of Oral Surgery, where actual hands-on will be performed by the student in year 3 clinical practice. During the course, students will be paired up and will practice the major techniques of giving a mandibular block and mandibular and maxillary infiltration on their partners before the actual clinical practice on patients.
