How to use biomaterials for immediate implants and ridge preservation

The lecture would clarify the clinical decision making process with 2 treatment options such as immediate implants and ridge preservation after tooth extraction.

This lecture will carefully explain when and how perform an immediate implant after a tooth extraction. Mainly, it will be discussed what surgical procedure should be performed, what type of biomaterial can be used to better preserve hard and soft tissues in case of an immediate implants. The risk to see complications will be deeply discussed. In addition, the technique of ridge preservation will be presented with a clear explanation of the indications, usefulness and limits of the procedure. Furthermore, the type of biomaterials that can be used will be thoroughly discussed. The participants at the end of the lecture will be able to choose the best treatment options for their patients and will be able to use the best biomaterials according to the clinical scenario they are going to deal with.
