Alveolar Ridge Preservation

Daniele Cardaropoli and osteocom welcome you to Alveolar Ridge Preservation, the first online course on contemporary and predictable alveolar ridge preservation techniques, a procedure that most dental practices deal with on a daily basis.

Taught by one of the leading experts on the subject, who has been working on post-extraction alveolar ridge healing strategies for over 20 years, the course offers simple techniques suitable for all levels of surgical experience.

Based on the new classification of post-extraction sites, published by the author in 2021 in the International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry, the educational path deepens the management techniques which are based on the biological rationale of spontaneous healing of the socket and guarantee predictability.

Great attention is paid to the systematic presentation of the data provided by the literature and the description of the effects of their practical confirmation in Daniele Cardaropoli’s daily practice, who straightforwardly indicates how to effectively replicate the surgical approaches illustrated.

The course includes:

• 4 hours of on-demand theoretical videos
• 10 detailed surgical videos with step-by-step commentary
• Lots of practical tips and indications on biomaterials and how to use them

Each video lesson is structured according to a modular logic to allow you to follow the didactic path at the pace you prefer.



Topics covered in the course:

• Alveolar socket healing process and its biologic principles
• Dental extraction techniques - open flap vs flapless - and their implications in the healing process
• Differences in bone resorption related to the elevation of the flap: half thickness vs full thickness
• Safe and predictable implementation of the Open Healing Technique, with intentional exposure of the collagen membrane/matrix
• What timing and differences must be observed in the preparation of the implant tunnels in post-extraction sites treated with ridge preservation
• Which bone substitute shows the best data in terms of volumetric preservation
• How to protect the graft: resorbable membrane vs socket seal with autologous punch vs three-dimensional collagen matrix
• The use of fibrin glue as an adjuvant for bone grafting




At the end of the course, you will:

• Understand the biological principles that regulate the healing dynamics of the post-extraction socket
• Manage post-extraction sockets - intact and non-intact - with intentional exposure of the membrane
• Intercept the loss of bone volume due to the extraction of dental elements by offering the patient an alternative treatment plan
• Select and use the correct biomaterials to maintain the volume of the bone crest
• Decide the timing of implant insertion following tooth extraction and socket preservation
• Decide what techniques to implement in case of non-intact socket and bone resorption - ridge preservation vs ridge augmentation – and the management of cases characterized by root fractures
• Understand when to expect sockets treated with ridge preservation techniques to require additional bone augmentation procedures during implant placement and how to approach these cases




Who the course is for:

This on-demand video course is dedicated to all those professionals who practice implantology at all levels of experience and want to deepen their knowledge of the different clinical scenarios that arise after tooth extraction.

Part of the proceeds from this channel are destined for the “Giuseppe Cardaropoli Foundation for Treatment and Research in Periodontology”.
The Foundation aims to spread knowledge in the medical-dental field regarding periodontal disease, supporting clinical research projects and scholarships, and promoting prevention and screening programs for the population.
