Description

Please join us for an informative and engaging presentation by Dr. Tuyen Nguyen. This course provides practical, evidence-based guidance on atraumatic partial extraction and immediate anterior implant placement using the socket shield technique. Emphasis will be placed on preserving the natural facial bone and gingival contours while minimizing the need for flap elevation, bone grafting, or membrane use. Participants will gain insight into a streamlined approach that allows for immediate provisionalization, with reduced patient discomfort, minimal bleeding and swelling, and predictable clinical outcomes. Dr. Nguyen will review indications, contraindications, case selection, and key clinical considerations, along with step-by-step procedural protocols. This technique highlights guided implant planning and execution, eliminating the need for freehand placement. Real-world clinical cases, including photos and videos, will be presented to demonstrate techniques that can be immediately and predictably integrated into daily practice.

Course Objective

By the end of the course, clinicians will be able to: • Identify the indications and contraindications for the root shield ( partial extraction) technique in immediate anterior maxillary implant placement without flap elevation, bone grafting, or soft tissue grafting. • Describe and apply the step-by-step protocol for performing the root shield technique using clinical visuals, including photos and videos. • Evaluate how general dentists can achieve esthetic, long-lasting anterior implant outcomes using guided implant planning, with or without specialist involvement.
