Extraction Socket Preservation: The Time is NOW!
presented by Kevin Frawley, D.D.S.
sponsored by Surgical Esthetics

As dentists, we hear a lot about implants and bone grafting. We hear a lot about sinus lifts and ridge grafting. Extraction socket preservation has not been given the attention it deserves. Unfortunately for our patients, most of us are not grafting extraction sites to preserve the alveolar bone. This presentation should help answer your questions about socket preservation, procedure, instruments and NEW  grafting technologies.

The goal of this program is to encourage and offer practical procedural techniques and technologies that make this procedure both predictable and practical for your office. The goal of this meeting will be to start doing socket preservation in your office TOMMORROW. For those of you who haven’t sutured in a while, we will have a hands-on portion to review suturing technique. 

We should all decide whether or not grafting extraction sites is something we want to make part of our practices. I believe that anyone who is extracting teeth is capable and should be doing extraction socket preservation. It is good for the patients and good for the bottom line in our practices.

Course Description:  Socket Grafting: Hands-on Portion

We will use quadrant dental models with soft tissue to accomplish the following:

1. Use a microblade to make incisions
2. Use micro-instruments to gently raise papillas and flaps.
3. Use simulated graft material to place in the socket.
4. Cover the graft material with a membrane and tuck it under the buccal and lingual flaps.
5. Suture the membrane in place. You will all have adequate time to review suturing techniques.
6. Barricaid covering- You will place the protective covering on the model, exactly as you would in the mouth.
7. You will leave the course and be able to do the procedure the very next day in your office.
