Track 1 ATRAUMATIC EXTRACTION AND SOCKET GRAFTING TECHNIQUES + Introduction to Ridge Augmentation (2-day course)
Course Description: Managing extraction sites is one of the most critical skills a dentist can possess in the 21st century. Whether for a fixed bridge or a dental implant, general dentists (or any doctor performing the extraction) are in the best position to properly, predictably, and successfully GROW BONE!
Day 1:

- Dealing with failed implants and their “sockets”
- Discuss the principles of bone grafting
- Live video demonstrations
- Pig jaw lab
Day 2

Track 2 Root Coverage Techniques for Gingival Recession: Just Say “No” to the Palate (2-day course)
Course Description: Gingival recession is one one of the most undiagnosed and untreated conditions in the general dental practice. Most patients are not excited about the prospect of have tissue harvested from the roofs of their mouths and most general dentists are unsure about how to do it. Vertical Translation is a root coverage technique that allows you to “just say NO” to the palate. You you learn flap design and suturing techniques that allow you to achieve predictable root coverage with allograft materials.
