Learn the Decision-Making Process Between Immediate Implant Placement and Ridge Preservation
This comprehensive course offers a step-by-step breakdown of how to determine the optimal approach between immediate implant placement and ridge preservation. You’ll gain a clear understanding of the clinical decision-making process, focusing on how to preserve or minimize bone resorption and identify the right timing for implant placement.

The course will delve into the importance of prosthetic planning, the fabrication of temporaries, and how to choose the appropriate prosthetic components and materials for both temporary and final restorations. Special emphasis will be placed on achieving predictable outcomes while preserving soft and hard tissue architecture.

With over 20 years of academic teaching and surgical experience in implantology, Prof. Puria Parvini—a renowned expert in Implantology—will guide you through the techniques, principles, and critical decisions needed to master this essential aspect of implant dentistry.
