Free Virtual Masterclass
Third Molars: How to Flap, When to Section, When to Stop
With Dr. Ben Johnson & Dr. Sohaib Soliman
In This Free Masterclass, You Will Learn:
Buccal Troughing & Controlled Bone Removal
Understand where, how much, and how deep to remove bone to expose the tooth without turning a simple case into a surgical struggle.
Flap Design for Access & Visibility
Know exactly which flap to raise for mandibular and maxillary thirds to gain access without creating unnecessary trauma or poor visibility.
Tooth Sectioning Techniques
Decide when sectioning is mandatory, optional, or harmful based on impaction type and root anatomy.
Stop Points, Nerve Risk & Surgical Judgment
Recognize the radiographic and intra-operative signs that tell you to stop, modify your plan, or refer before creating a complication.
Refer less. Treat more third molars with the right surgical decisions.
A free masterclass aiming to help general dentists confidently evaluate, plan, and surgically manage third molar extractions alongside board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons Dr. Ben Johnson & Dr. Sohaib Soliman.
Can General Dentists Safely Remove Third Molars?
In many situations, yes. A large number of third molar extractions are referred simply because the process of evaluating case difficulty and planning the surgery isn't always clearly taught.
A message from Dr. Benjamin Johnson & Dr. Sohaib Soliman
"With prophylactic third molar extractions becoming more commonplace, there is a greater need for access to care for patients. Some patient populations do not have access to specialty care due to insurance or socioeconomic reasons, and it has become more prudent than ever for the general practitioner to be able to perform this much needed procedure."

Dr. Aly Bhatia
Hey there, my name is Aly. Iโm a dentist in Toronto, Canada and the Founder of Course Karma. After graduating dental school I found it challenging to decide what CE to takeโฆ.I asked myself:โฃ
Where can I go to find courses?โฃ
Which courses are better than others?โฃ
โฃWill I be able to use what I learnt in the clinic on Monday?โฃ
I realized that the only way to answer these questions was to ask my peers from my dental school, a group of 56 students who were also asking the same questions.โฃ
And so I started to build Course Karma, a platform for dental CE. A place where dentists can go to view the best CE available and read course reviews. But Course Karma is more than just a platform. Itโs a movement where dentists help each other find the best CE.โฃ
Thank you for being a part of our journey. Together, we can improve dental CE and dentistry as a whole.
