Implants have become the ideal method for doing so\, however it is not as simple as every empty space can get one. One of the most predictable treatment modalities to help ensure that an implant will be possible is Ridge Preservation. Over the last 4 decades\, tremendous gains in knowledge\, materials\, and technology have garnered endless scientific justification for what we do and how we do it. In this part of the course participants will learn the biologic rationales\, the scientific research behind them\, modern materials\, basic surgical technique including using PRF. The content is packaged in such a way that providers of all levels will have an opportunity to learn and fine tune their current practice for the patients’ benefit as well that of the practice.   \n Lecture Objectives:   \n\nDiscuss common systemic conditions and risk assessment :  \n\n\nPlanning of extraction cases and strategies \n\n\nBasic ridge preservation techniques \n\n\nCase presentation of flap design\, sectioning of multi-rooted teeth\, membrane adaptation\, platelet aggregates\, and suturing \n\nHands On:   \nRidge preservation exercise on models   \n*Models will be provided by Dr. Horton with edentulous socket for participants to reflect flaps\, place graft\, adapt and position membrane\, and place sutures. Particulate material\, instruments\, and sutures will also be provided. \nParticipants will learn to turn whole blood into PRF and learn how to use it in ridge preservation cases  \n*Blood will be drawn by phlebotomists and processed by participants \n\nFriday Feb 27\, 8-5 pm \nDr Brian Goodacre\, Sponsored by Nobel \nImmediate Implant Placement and Provisionalization in the Esthetic Zone \nDescription: \nRestoration of a non-restorable anterior tooth is one of the most challenging treatments. Immediate implant placement is one of the best treatment options we can provide for these situations\, however\, there are specific principles that must be followed. This lecture will discuss the key factors associated with proper implant placement to set us up for success. Following implant placement\, a custom-made provisional can be fabricated chairside to support biologic and esthetic tooth replacement. Techniques to fabricate these immediate provisional will be discussed. \nLearning Objectives: \n– Treatment plan for the ideal immediate implant placement. \n– Understand the options available to provide provisionalization of an immediately placed implant. \n– Learn to create a custom provisional chairside \n– Practice developing proper crown contours to promote implant and tissue health \n  \nBio: Dr. Brian J. Goodacre received his DDS degree from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry in 2013.
