Mastering Intact Extraction Sockets

Predictable immediate implant therapy for high-impact esthetic outcomes

• Preserve tissue from the start. Flap vs. flapless decision-making, labial plate biology, ridge dynamics, and precision extraction techniques.
• Place implants with greater confidence. Three-dimensional positioning principles that support ideal emergence profile and long-term anterior esthetics.
• Improve regenerative predictability. How defect dimensions, grafting strategies, and biologic principles influence bone regeneration around immediate implants.
• Optimize soft tissue healing. Select primary closure or secondary intention strategies based on clinical indications and desired tissue response.
• Read the socket before you treat. CBCT-based assessment of apical anatomy, perforation risk, and labial bone thickness to identify risk and plan with precision.
• Build a foundation for esthetic stability. Strengthen peri-implant soft tissue phenotype with dual-cone therapy, biologic grafting principles, and proven protocols.
• Guide healing through smarter provisionals. Socket sealing and provisional restoration strategies for tissue preservation and esthetic risk management.
• Expand restorative possibilities. Angulated screw channel technology, platform switching, implant connection concepts, and co-axis vs. uniaxial design.

Immediate Placement in Anterior and Posterior Sockets

Advanced strategies with co-axial and ultra-wide diameter implants for molar extraction sockets

• Protect the site during complex extractions. Refine atraumatic extraction and sectioning techniques for multi-rooted teeth to preserve bone and soft tissue architecture.
• Select the right implant for the socket. Match co-axial and ultra-wide diameter implant designs to molar socket classification and immediate placement goals.
• Plan molar implants in three dimensions. Integrate positioning principles, biologic considerations, and gap-management strategies for posterior extraction sites.
• Manage defects with confidence. Address dehiscence defects, hard tissue regeneration, and immediate versus delayed restoration protocols.
• Shape tissue for restorative success. Use custom healing abutments to support soft tissue architecture and emergence profile development.

Afternoon hands-on workshop

Gives participants the opportunity to translate advanced concepts into practical clinical skills through faculty-guided, hands-on exercises.

• Practice atraumatic tooth removal and sectioning for single- and multi-rooted teeth without flap elevation.
• Place co-axis and ultra-wide implants in anterior and molar extraction socket models.
• Fabricate provisional restorations and custom healing abutments to guide tissue healing.
• Develop pontic sites for delayed implant placement in the esthetic zone.

Complex Esthetic Cases

Interdisciplinary strategies for confident decision-making and beautiful, stable outcomes

• Save or replace implants. Evidence-based decision-making for compromised implants in the esthetic zone.
• Enhance soft tissue grafting. Connective tissue grafting and double- or triple-layer protocols for esthetic reconstruction.
• Solve restorative challenges. Angulated screw channel technology and uniaxial implant systems that expand treatment options in demanding cases.
• Address papilla and black triangle deficiencies. Diagnose interdental esthetic defects and select strategies to improve final smile architecture.
• Optimize pink esthetics. Compare prosthetic tissue replacement and surgical soft tissue augmentation to select the best approach for each case.
• Choose regenerative strategies with purpose. Evaluate ridge augmentation, GBR, grafting materials, and barrier membranes for complex scenarios.
• Plan for long-term esthetic stability. Splinting implants to natural teeth, facial growth, age-related changes, and their impact on outcomes over time.
• Coordinate care across specialties. Sequence periodontics, orthodontics, and restorative dentistry more effectively.
• Learn through comprehensive case reviews. Apply evidence-based strategies from diagnosis through final restoration.
