Inside the course
Tools and knots
Early modules settle the fundamentals: the best sutures to keep on hand, needle and thread selection, handling tips, and the core knots worth mastering before anything else.
The technique library
A dozen suturing patterns are demonstrated on the bench and then explained again on the whiteboard, so the mechanics of each stitch are clear before you try it.
Cases and three instructors
Bone-graft and wisdom-tooth cases show the stitches in context, with guidance drawn from three surgically trained clinicians.
Built for
- Newer surgical dentistsA single, straightforward place to learn suturing well.
