Description

This half-day introductory course provides clinicians with a practical foundation in Partial Extraction Therapy (PET), with a focus on the Socket Shield Technique. Participants will explore the biological rationale behind PET and learn when, where, and how the technique can be incorporated into implant treatment. Through lecture, case-based discussion, and hands-on exercises, the course will review case selection, treatment planning, step-by-step socket shield preparation, implant positioning, and common clinical considerations. The hands-on portion will allow participants to practice the fundamental steps of the technique in a controlled setting, building familiarity with the instruments and workflow required for predictable clinical application.

Course Objective
