Overview: Learning to place an implant starts with learning to extract a tooth. In this course, you will be introduced to the use of Rotary Handpieces and Piezo-Electric Surgery for complicated tooth extractions. In addition, the instruments and techniques for an atraumatic tooth extraction will be discussed. You will be equipped with the skill of root splitting, and raising a flap to deal with a buccal wall fracture or sinus perforation. You will also learn how to remove small pieces of root stuck at the root apex’s level.  The protocol, technique and steps of socket preservation post-extraction using different bone graft materials will be discussed and demonstrated. Two days of theoretical lectures and hands-on clinical training on custom-designed, 3D-printed resin models and pig jaws using rotary handpiece and piezo-electric surgery.
