Course Description:
Dimensional changes occur after tooth extraction which may hamper implant placement. Alveolar ridge preservation diminishes the volumetric loss, facilitating subsequent implant placement, making it easy and predictable for every clinician.
Course Objectives:
- Understand the consequences of tooth extraction
- Learn the indications and advantages of ridge preservation
- Use of Different hard & soft tissue grating techniques for ridge preservation
The course contains 1 hour of on-demand content.
