Description

THEORY

1. Extraction socket biology: Understanding the events that follow tooth extraction and bundle bone in the context of post-extraction dimensional changes
2. Extraction defect sounding classification of extraction sockets
3. Radial root position and its relevance to immediate implant placement
4. Overview of the various recognized techniques of immediate implant placement according to socket type: Dual zone & Surgical Veneer grafting for Type I and Immediate Dento-alveolar restoration & Vestibular socket therapy for Type II sockets
5. The Biological rationale behind Partial Extraction Therapies: Root Submergence, Socket Shield, Pontic Shield & Glocker’s technique for ridge preservation
6. The available scientific evidence for the Socket shield technique and long-term clinical cases
7. Indications and Contraindications
8. Step-by-step description of the technique and the rules and guidelines to be followed
9. Special precautions, variations in technique for special situations, Guided Shield preparation & implant placement, DTR to guide implant placement
10. Complications and their management
