With Dr. Nabeel Cajee

Course information
Develop your suturing repertoire with Dr. Nabeel Cajee. Start with needle and thread selection, then work through knot tying, instrument handling and twelve technique demonstrations for oral and periodontal surgery.
Whiteboard explanations make the suture pathways easier to follow. Bone-graft and wisdom-tooth case studies then bring the techniques into a surgical setting, so you can connect a stitch pattern with its clinical use.
The eight-section curriculum contains 45 timed videos totaling 3 hours and 36 minutes, plus five untimed course resources, including a quick handout. Study the sequence at your own pace and revisit individual techniques as part of your professional learning.

Tools · Knots · Techniques
Suturing is more than memorizing a knot: it connects instrument control, thread selection and tissue approximation.
Begin with the tools and knot foundations, then move into the technique library. Pair each demonstration with its whiteboard explanation to understand the stitch pathway before reviewing the case studies.
Choose the material. Control the knot. Follow the stitch.
What you’ll learn
Review needle choices, thread characteristics and the suture options discussed for oral and periodontal surgery.
Study practical instrument tips and ways to control the suture during knot tying and placement.
Follow square knots, surgeon’s knots, modified knots and the one-handed hand tie.
Compare interrupted, sling, mattress, figure-of-eight and continuous patterns through focused demonstrations.
Use eleven whiteboard videos to trace the sequence and direction of each technique.
Observe how the teaching translates into the bone-graft and wisdom-tooth case studies.
The technique library
Move from single interrupted and figure-of-eight sutures to sling, mattress and continuous patterns. Each technique has its own place in the curriculum, making it easy to return to a particular demonstration without replaying the entire course.
