Socket Management: Ridge Preservation and Buccal (Shield) Techniques
Socket Management: Ridge Preservation and Buccal (Shield) Techniques
Course overview
A comprehensive clinical framework for understanding and managing post-extraction tissue dynamics, ridge preservation, and advanced implant protocols in the aesthetic zone.
Clinical decision-making is supported by step-by-step protocols, video demonstrations, and case-based analysis. Led by Giorgio Tabanella, Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, this course reflects extensive clinical and research experience in tissue regeneration.
During the course, you will learn about:
Biological principles of post-extraction remodeling and dimensional changes
Clinical protocols for ridge preservation and soft tissue management in the aesthetic zone
Management of thin phenotypes, including grafting strategies and emergence profile design
Advanced socket preservation and horizontal ridge augmentation techniques
Application of socket shield and NOVAMag® protocols in complex clinical scenarios
Evaluation of peri-implant tissue stability and the achievement of long-term aesthetic outcomes.
