Loss of ridge volume is an invariable outcome of tooth extraction. Loss of ridge width and height can have negative implications for future prosthetic management.  Fortunately, some relatively simple procedures can be performed at the time of extraction that help minimise loss of ridge volume. All general dental practitioners must be aware of, and able to offer, these procedures to their patients, regardless of who will provide future treatment (i.e., bridge, implant, denture). The first part of this interactive hands-on course will provide the scientific basis for socket grafting, including a discussion on the criteria that need consideration before socket grafting can be safely applied. Key technical aspects of the procedures will be discussed. The second part of the course will demonstrate the steps involved in a step-by-step fashion, allowing you to apply these procedures on the socket grafting model provided.
