Course was okay. It was a good course to supplement the fundamentals learned in school, however it doesn’t give you a ton of useful surgical information, especially regarding grafting and implants.
Dr. Gaum was great but a lot of his approach was a bit invasive in terms of bone removal. More of a oral surgeon mentality of doing it as quick as possible, Still would recommend to any new grads who are struggling with their surgical confidence.

A good course overall.

What i liked most about this course was its breadth in oral surgeries; it wasn’t just restricted to tooth extractions.

I thought that case assessment was lacking. i.e. He could have spent more time on analyzing radiographs

Pretty good course if you want to learn complicated/impacted surgeries. I feel fairly comfortable doing those after taking the course. You also get to learn biopsies/tori removal etc but since I am not
doing a lot of those I still refer them out but you an easily do them yourself if you feel comfortable. Dr. Gaum is good explaining procedures and the book (with step by step photos of surgeries) you get from the course is a pretty good reference in case you want refresh before doing the procedure. Overall a pretty good course and worth the money!

I love this course and highly recommend it.
The reasons I only rate it 4 stars are:
1) you need to buy some instruments they required which may not be used in your office
2)They do not cover much in bone graft, socket preservation and implant

I really enjoyed this course. I learned a lot and feel much more comfortable with tori removal, impacted 3rd molars, frenectomies and biopsies. The first two days are quite intensive and cover a wide range of topics. The last day is a little bit slower pace but also valuable.

Dr. Gaum is pretty great. He’s kind of like the prototypical grandfather. He is wise and has a lot of information to share but also has a different take on some concepts that are good food for thought and challenge some of the ideas we are taught in school. He has a kind demeanor with a splash of old school toughness, tangents and quirky running commentary.

Exam was easy.
