Ridge Preservation Technique for the General Dentist

April 29, 2023   10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Description

Bone loss after extraction is inevitable. There is significant reduction in the available bone volume within the first 3 months post-extraction.  If not managed at time of extraction, this loss in volume may necessitate extensive bone graft surgery to create an optimal site before implant placement. This will lead to additional surgery, time required for healing, and cost. These factors may ultimately discourage the patient from choosing an implant as an option.

This hands-on lecture will provide the learner with the knowledge and clinical skills to offer ridge preservation as a treatment option in an efficient and effective manner for patients.

Objectives

• Understand the principles of ridge preservation and it’s indications for treatment
• Understand the stages and timeline of bone and soft tissue healing.
• Understand the rationale in material selection and its appropriate use
• Apply ridge preservation technique on a typodont model
• Apply applicable suture techniques
