S2EP26: Framing the Conversation on the Pros and Cons of a Coronectomy

When you have a patient who would benefit from a coronectomy, how do you frame the conversation?

How do you help them understand the pros and cons of leaving the roots behind and make the decision that's right for them?

On this episode of Dentist Brian Candy, I share my thoughts on a 10-year study exploring the low incidence of late complications associated with third-molar coronectomy.

I also discuss an article in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery around the reliability and quality of YouTube content on facial trauma and why we should be cautious about to referring patients to social media for information.

Listen in for insight into what you'll learn at our upcoming Cutting Edge Dental Implant Symposium and learn how you could benefit from becoming one of my Core 50 advocate-doctors for Jet Virtual Consults!
