OMFS Seminars & Hands-On Courses

Oral surgery and OMFS are disciplines where live training makes a measurable difference. OHI-S seminars, congresses, and workshops bring together general dentists, oral surgeons, and residents for focused, faculty-led education across the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Why Live CE Matters in Oral Surgery

Surgical disciplines are learned through observation, repetition, and direct exposure to how experienced clinicians think and act under real conditions. Reading protocols and watching recorded content builds a foundation — but live education adds a layer that structured online learning cannot fully replicate.

Oral surgery seminars and OMFS workshops create the conditions for that deeper engagement: real-time explanation of surgical decision-making, faculty interaction during case analysis, and concentrated immersion in technically demanding topics. For complex areas like orthognathic surgery planning, bone augmentation, TMJ management, or trauma response, live CE supports stronger retention and more practical understanding of clinical workflows.

OHI-S delivers 149+ congresses and seminars every year, with an average of 200+ participants per event — across cities including Rome, Vienna, Florence, Bologna, Prague, Berlin, Dubai, and Kyoto.

What You'll Learn

OHI-S oral surgery and OMFS seminars cover surgical, diagnostic, and planning topics in a live, interactive environment — where case discussion, Q&A, and faculty access deepen the learning beyond any recorded format:

• Complex extractions and third molar surgery — surgical access strategies, flap logic, and impacted case management observed and discussed in real time
• Atraumatic and tissue-preserving surgery — socket preservation and minimally invasive approaches demonstrated and contextualized through live case review
• Apical surgery and piezosurgery — periapical access planning, retrograde filling protocols, and ultrasonic technique discussed with direct faculty input
• Bone grafting and augmentation — GBR, sinus lift, PRF, and implant-related surgical protocols with live demonstration where applicable
• Guided surgery and CBCT-based planning — 3D planning workflows and imaging-based decision-making explored through interactive case analysis
• Orthognathic surgery — planning sequencing, complication scenarios, relapse management, and interdisciplinary coordination discussed in depth
• TMJ surgery and arthrocentesis — injection protocols, arthrocentesis principles, and joint management approaches reviewed with specialist faculty
• Maxillofacial and dental trauma — emergency response logic and fracture management approached through scenario-based discussion
• Pediatric oral surgery — age-appropriate decision-making, anesthesia considerations, and trauma care for younger patients
• Oral pathology and lesion recognition — precancerous lesion identification, biopsy indications, and referral logic reviewed with expert guidance

Why Choose Seminars and Hands-On Events

Live oral surgery seminars and OMFS workshops offer direct access to faculty — the opportunity to ask questions in context, observe how experts approach intraoperative decisions, and engage with case material in real time. That kind of interaction sharpens clinical reasoning in ways that asynchronous learning alone cannot.

Hands-on components, where available, allow practitioners to work through surgical concepts — flap design, suturing technique, grafting workflow logic, and practical execution steps — under instructor guidance. This is particularly valuable for clinicians building confidence in procedures they encounter less frequently, or for those preparing to handle more complex case types with better indication-based judgment.

Peer exchange across events adds practical value too: discussing real cases, complication scenarios, and planning challenges with colleagues from different backgrounds deepens the learning beyond any single lecture. OHI-S events draw professionals from 40+ countries, bringing diverse clinical perspectives into every room.

For eligible events, CE credits are clearly marked — OHI-S is an ADA CERP Recognized Provider.

Learn from World-Class Clinicians

OHI-S oral surgery and OMFS seminars are led by surgeons and specialists who combine genuine clinical authority with a proven record of effective live teaching.

Lecturers include David Sanz, David Angelo, Angelo Cardarelli, Paul Abbott, Sylvain Chamberland, Larry Wolford, Ashley Clark, and Johan Aps — each bringing a distinct clinical focus and the kind of live case experience that makes seminar learning genuinely transferable to practice.

Other Ways to Learn Oral Surgery on OHI-S

If you prefer structured, self-paced education, OHI-S also offers online oral surgery courses covering the same clinical range on demand. Free learning resources are available for those exploring a topic before committing to a course or event. Links to both are in the Next step section below.
