Socket grafting workshop

During the ADA 2014, dentists interested in socket grafting can take part in an implant hands on course. This course will cover the basics of socket grafting and bone grafts.

The workshop will include membranes and membrane grafting, suturing, implant placement and bone grafting. It will also cover the latest materials and techniques. The workshop will be hands-on, including exercises on fresh pig jaw models and dermal allograft.

The course will be conducted by a board-certified oral implantologist. The didactic and hands-on component will be broadcast from a surgical room. Each participant will perform a step-by-step surgical procedure on a model, learning surgical techniques and advancing their knowledge.

The workshop will review and demonstrate step-by-step procedures for predictable extraction socket grafting. This includes preparation of the site, closed tray, prep abutment and open tray. Using readily available blood derivatives, socket grafting can be performed by a dentist.

The workshop will also cover ridge preservation, a technique which can increase the predictability of bone grafts and increase the long-term stability of implants. This is a surgical technique that capitalizes on the natural wound healing physiology of the extraction socket. This method can minimize adverse outcomes and maximize bone growth.
