Thinking Outside of the Socket-
Socket Grafting Techniques
COURSE OVERVIEW
Ridge preservation, also known as alveolar socket grafting, involves grafting an extraction socket immediately following tooth removal to prevent ridge collapse, which can result in aesthetic or functional complications. While many people associate ridge preservations solely with crestal approaches, this course will expand your perspective on the variety of techniques available to preserve ridge form and optimize outcomes.
