Want to preserve bone volume for successful tooth replacement therapy? Join Dr. Jay Reznick 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. Reznick 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.
- Practice the techniques of ARP, including preparation and placement of the bone graft and barrier membrane, as well as suturing techniques.
Course Overview
Replacement of an extracted tooth with a dental implant has begun to be the procedure of choice over a fixed bridge. It allows for easier hygiene, bone maintenance, and avoids having to prepare adjacent teeth. Once a tooth is removed, there is no longer functional stress on the alveolar bone, so it tends to resorb over the first 6 months and beyond. This can create an unfavorable situation if a dental implant is to be placed in the site, where the bone volume is inadequate to place a successful fixture. This can be prevented by the process of alveolar ridge preservation grafting, which has been shown to reduce post-extraction ridge resorption and maintain bone volume.
This course covers the biologic basis of ridge resorption and teaches the clinician about the proper techniques, materials, and tools needed to successfully maintain alveolar ridge volume so that a dental implant can be placed. Following the didactic portion of the course, we will break into a hands-on session utilizing minimally traumatic tooth extraction techniques, how to prepare and place a ridge preservation graft, place a membrane, and suture in place.
