Course Overview
Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration (IDR) represents a paradigm shift in implant dentistry, moving from managing post-extraction tissue collapse to proactively preserving and reconstructing the dentoalveolar complex at the time of extraction.
This course provides a complete understanding of the IDR concept, combining biological principles, clinical decision-making, surgical techniques, and prosthetic planning to achieve predictable hard- and soft-tissue outcomes.
What You Will Learn
The biological foundations and treatment philosophy behind Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration (IDR)
Clinical decision-making processes, including case selection, defect analysis, and indications for IDR
Extraction socket classification, alveolar bone remodeling, and strategies for preserving ridge architecture
Surgical protocols for minimally invasive extraction, socket preparation, bone harvesting, graft stabilization, and implant positioning
The role of prosthetic planning, surgical guides, and provisional restorations in achieving predictable esthetic outcomes
