osteocom and Dr. Markus Hürzeler welcome you to this comprehensive training experience on the biological rationale and surgical protocol of the Socket Shield Technique – the one-surgery approach that allows for immediate implant placement in the frontal esthetic area.
Achievable in one surgical session, the Socket Shield Technique ensures less invasiveness and morbidity, improved long-term stability, enhanced patient comfort, and excellent soft tissue outcomes that are comparable to – if not better than – those obtained with delayed implant placement.
Dr. Markus HĂĽrzeler, the inventor of the Socket Shield technique, will guide you through the evolution of the surgical protocol, highlighting the refinements and innovations introduced over the past 15 years. Through several clinical cases, Dr. HĂĽrzeler also replies to some of the most frequently asked questions concerning the technique, providing practical and applicable answers for your daily practice.
By joining this course, you will gain a deeper understanding of the biological rationale behind the Socket Shield Technique, the new classifications, the different stages of the treatment, and its practical application in different clinical scenarios.
Join Dr. Markus HĂĽrzeler to uncover all the secrets of the Socket Shield Technique and meet the needs and expectations of even your most demanding patients!
The course includes:
- 5 video lessons with lots of clinical clips
