Course Objectives
1 CE Credit
Ridge preservation is vital to prevent the bone loss that occurs after the extraction of a tooth and to prepare a site for implant placement. If an implant cannot be placed at the time of extraction, then preserving the site to allow a straightforward placement at a later date is a benefit to the practitioner as well as the patient. This course will explore the simple procedures necessary to accomplish the best long-term restorative outcomes for implant success.
