Atraumatic Extraction and ARP Grafting / June 28, 2025

This course provides an overview of atraumatic tooth extraction techniques, emphasizing the preservation of alveolar bone for optimal healing and future restorative options. Additionally, it covers alveolar ridge preservation grafting, including biological principles, clinical techniques, material selection, and potential complications associated with the procedure. Furthermore, attendees will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively preserve alveolar ridge dimensions following tooth extraction, optimizing conditions for future implant placement or other restorative options.

Course Objectives:

• Understand the biological principles of tooth extraction, the factors influencing trauma to the alveolar ridge, and the rationale for ridge preservation.
• Identify the indications and contraindications for atraumatic tooth extraction and alveolar ridge preservation grafting.
• Select appropriate instruments and materials for various extraction and socket grafting scenarios.
• Perform proper soft tissue management to minimize trauma and promote healing.
• Recognize and manage potential complications associated with tooth extraction and grafting.
• Evaluate the success of atraumatic extractions and alveolar ridge preservation using clinical and radiographic assessments.
• Improve patient comfort and satisfaction by minimizing pain and complications.
