Abstract
Implant site preservation and development is the concept of maintaining the volume and architecture of both the soft and hard tissues. It is critical to minimize tissue loss during extraction to conserve the natural ridge form and architecture for future implant placement
Tissues should be preserved and maintained in their original forms as much as possible from the time of tooth extraction to the placement of restoration. This concept is crucial to ensure tissue healing, patient comfort, esthetics and functionality of the final implant restoration.
This lecture will highlight several techniques that facilitate a more esthetic, functional and predictable result in implant dentistry, starting with extraction. Discussion will focus on some of the most commonly asked questions in implant dentistry, such as should grafting be performed after tooth extraction? Which is the best graft materials to use? What type of interim provisional restorations to use in order to minimize tissue loss? What is the current research and what diagnostic tools lead to the correct decisions regarding immediate implant placement versus delayed implant placement.
This lecture is designed for any dental professional who manage extraction sites and place implants.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss about minimally invasive tooth removal techniques and instrumentation, including the removal of broken and difficult teeth with minimal flap elevation.
- Understand socket grafting, indications of grafting, and evaluate graft materials, including the use of membranes.
- Implement techniques for optimal healing and ridge form preservation.
- Develop skills in managing extraction sites with facial bony defects.
- Understand the concept of Restoration-Driven Tissue Regeneration (RDTR)
- Understand the pros and cons of immediate versus delayed implant placement
- Be able to describe minimally invasive bone grafting techniques for the compromised implant site
- Learn when to raise the Flap and when you can perform Incisionless treatment
- Learn how to properly place and guide implants into the extraction site for ideal results
