IRIS ADVANCE WORKSHOP - Socket Management in Immediate Implant Therapy: Are All Techniques Created Equal? - PART 1
This lecture will explore the transformative journey of the Partial Extraction Therapy (PET) and more specifically the socket shield technique within dental implantology, charting its evolution from freehand methods to the precision of guided surgery. Initially developed to preserve alveolar ridge and soft tissue contours, the socket shield technique has traditionally been considered highly technique-sensitive and variable in its outcomes. Our lecture will focus on how advancements in surgical guidance have enhanced the reproducibility and predictability of this technique.
What You’ll Learn:
· Partial Extraction Therapy (PET) Techniques
· Discuss how to maintain the buccal bone plate and hence prevent the collapse of the alveolar bone creating a platform for ideal soft tissue
· Hands-on practical training utilizing simulation models
· This lecture and hands-on will take you through the different options with regards to immediate implant placement as well as the most cutting-edge PET in a step by step fashion.
