Seminar Topic: How to Manage Extractions with Restorative Plan in Mind

Speaker: Dr. Michael Glogauer

Course Description:

Management of the extraction socket procedure can be challenging, especially in the aesthetic zone. Proper diagnosis and treatment planning is necessary to ensure that the final restorative outcome, such as fixed partial denture or implant supported crown, is stable and predictable.

Participants in this session will learn hands-on knowledge and techniques to do minimally traumatic extractions to minimize soft and hard tissue shrinkage in order to attain an ideal aesthetic outcome. They will practice important techniques for minimally invasive tooth extraction plus preparing and placing biomaterials to achieve optimal ridge preservation.

Audience: Dentists
