This webinar will explore the latest advancements in bone grafting and implant placement techniques. The session will focus on optimizing dental extraction protocols, strategically selecting and using various grafting materials and biologics, and applying innovative approaches to implant placement. These methods aim to improve patient outcomes by minimizing peri-implant diseases and complications. Participants will gain insights into a new classification system for peri-implantitis, which enables better prevention and management of implant-related issues. The webinar is designed to provide general dentists with actionable, evidence-based strategies to enhance clinical practice and patient satisfaction.

• Learn scientifically-based and evidence-driven extraction techniques to improve clinical outcomes.
• Review an in-depth analysis of grafting materials (allografts, xenografts, alloplasts) and biologics (growth factors, matrix proteins).
• Learn about a modified classification for peri-implantitis to address and prevent common complications during the planning stages of treatment.
• Discuss the revised classification for peri-implantitis as it pertains to diagnosis and treatment.
