am i forgetting the art?

i am working independently for the past 5 years , without any guidance or supervision or any superior being available at hand and i am reading the text books only irregularly!
i just look after the daily OPD patients, Say 15 to 20 on each working day and do the routine dental procedures like extractions, restorations, RCT and removable Prosthodontics!
Lately , i have started to realize that i have lost some confidence, when dealing with oral surgery cases. i find it particularly difficult to extract upper first molars.
earlier, i never felt like that about any extraction procedure.
what can be the reasons? what should i do?

  1. accha hai ur working independently. when working with other doctors, most of the time we end up learning what not to do rather than learning what to do.

  2. Sir, you can never loose your confidence cause you taught extractions to me and i am someone who is as impossible to be taught as one can be. Its just a phase so cheer up. You're a great doctor and so you will always be.
