Trailer- Lifetime access
What it covers
In this video lecture, Dr. Alberto Pispero explores the socket shield technique, a method aimed at preserving the hard and soft tissue volumes around extracted teeth, ensuring optimal conditions for subsequent implant placement within a rehabilitation plan.
Dr. Pispero delves into the biological rationale and essential principles underlying tissue healing in socket preservation, providing a comprehensive overview of when, why, and how to perform this technique.
In particular, this lecture covers the following topics:
- Biological principles essential to tissue healing in socket preservation
- Rationale and minimum common denominator for preserving post-extraction sites
- Step by step protocols for implementing the socket shield technique
- Ensuring preservation of both soft and hard tissue integrity
