Current concepts in ridge preservation techniquesthe knowhow

calendar 10th February 2023 map-marker Manchester

Course Overview

The importance of preserving the horizontal and vertical ridge dimensions following tooth extraction have become critical factors for the aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of the implant patient. Ridge and socket preservation are welldocumented procedures but mainly relate to fully intact sockets. This presentation will provide an overview of the procedure, the biomaterials that are used, and the clinical outcomes expected according to the literature. Additionally, the management of the partially and severely damaged socket with ridge preservation techniques will be discussed.

Start your journey into full-arch implantology with one of the UK’s most established Implantologists!

This one-day course is intended to guide and consolidate the theory, concept and management of full-arch, immediate-load implant placement as a treatment option for the terminal dentition. Teaching methods will include interactive seminars, lectures and “hands on” training via the use of plastic jaws.

cog Learning aims & objectives

The aim of the course is for each delegate to produce an upper or lower immediate, full-arch bridge on a specially designed model. Each delegate will be expected to extract teeth and convert a denture into a fixed acrylic bridge on a specially designed plastic jaw. Delegates will learn the technique intimately and will gain experience working with a dental technician to form the acrylic denture on the day of surgery.
