Alveolar Ridge Preservation Grafting For The Practicing Dentist

Want to preserve bone volume for successful tooth replacement therapy? Join Dr. Jason Ford for this TBS Hands-On Clinic on how to master ARP grafting.

This comprehensive hands-on workshop will dive into why ridge resorption occurs after tooth extraction and how to prevent it with alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) grafting. Dr. Ford will guide you through essential techniques for minimally traumatic tooth extraction, graft placement, and the use of membranes and sutures. You’ll leave with practical skills to protect bone volume, improve implant success, and increase practice profitability, all while gaining hands-on experience in ARP techniques.

Course Objectives:

• Understand why alveolar ridge resorption occurs after extraction.

• Learn the steps that should be taken to minimize ridge resorption following tooth removal.

• Become exposed to the various types of bone graft, barrier membrane, and suture material that can be used for ARP.

• Be able to present to your patients the need for ARP if a dental implant will be placed to replace the extracted tooth.

• Understand the financial aspects and benefits of incorporating alveolar ridge preservation grafting into your practice.

• Have hands-on experience in the techniques of minimally traumatic tooth removal utilizing specially designed extraction instruments.

• Learn how to prepare an extraction socket to maximize the success of an ARP.
