Course Description

Secrets Regarding Successful Ridge (Socket) Preservation Procedures
Atrophy of alveolar ridges following tooth extraction is a common fact and can severely compromise the esthetic and functional rehabilitation of patients. Preservation of the alveolar ridge has become the standard of care and a necessity for the successful contemporary clinician. Numerous options of biomaterials and surgical techniques can often be overwhelming for the clinician and can lead to improper clinical management.
This course is designed to teach the general dentist and specialists how to effectively and predictably maintain the dimensions of the alveolar ridge following tooth extractions. This course will demonstrate new techniques in exodontia to atraumatically perform extractions while preserving the bone and cortical plate. The participants will learn how to make the extractions more predictable resulting in less chair time, less traumatic patient experience, and increased referrals.

Course Objectives

At the completion of this course the participants should be able to:

1. Recognize the benefits and understand the rationale for ridge preservation procedures.
2. Realize how the biologic events during healing of the extraction socket relate to the ridge preservation concepts
3. Understand the role of different biomaterials used for ridge preservation
4. Comprehend the differences between ridge preservation and ridge augmentation procedures
5. Apply basic surgical concepts related to ridge preservation procedures at the everyday clinical practice

The educational teaching methodology used in this course is live lecture presented in concert with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation. Both the live lecture and the PowerPoint presentation incorporate a variety of audio and visual cues to enhance audience members’ understanding and retention of key concepts. In addition, audience participation will be encouraged and facilitated by group discussions as well as question and answer periods provided for at the conclusion of each section of the live lecture."
