Jack A. Hahn, DDS

• Oct. 4, 2019: Louisville, Kentucky

It’s an all-too-frequent occurrence in a busy dental practice: A patient arrives with a fractured or non-restorable tooth in the esthetic zone. Often, practitioners have their schedules disrupted as they seek a temporary solution while the patient awaits definitive tooth replacement. The immediate extraction and implant placement procedure solves these issues for both the patient and dentist.

From Dr. Jack Hahn, a pioneer in the field of implant dentistry, comes a course that encompasses the “emergency” implant protocol. Follow along as an extraction is performed, an implant is placed, and a provisional restoration is delivered on the same day, allowing practitioners to provide for the urgent need of the patient in a definitive and practical manner.
