Section Notes

The recent implementation of the Canadian Dental Care Plan is meant to provide financial support for specific individuals and populations who require oral healthcare. However, literature indicates there are many non-financial barriers to oral healthcare, especially for vulnerable populations, that contribute to poor oral health and oral health disparities. This course will explore how various structural and social determinants of health, such as language, gender, and culture, impact access to oral healthcare. Participants will gain knowledge that will allow them to recognize and develop strategies to overcome barriers to care, thereby increasing oral healthcare access and decreasing oral health disparities.

At the end of this course, participants will:
  • Recognize structural and social determinants of health.
  • Understand how structural and social determinants of health impact access to oral healthcare.
  • Develop strategies to minimize non-financial barriers to oral healthcare.
  • Increase their ability to provide culturally sensitive care to vulnerable populations.

Section Notes
From extraction to potential implant placement: Post-extraction site management via grafting and ridge preservation for successful clinical outcomes (Lecture)

Managing tooth extraction sites to optimize potential future implant placement can be challenging. This comprehensive course, led by a clinical scientist and periodontist specializing in periodontics and biomaterials, provides an evidence-based approach to selecting and utilizing bone graft materials and barrier membranes for single implant site preparation following tooth extraction. The lecture component will offer in-depth insights into the science behind bone graft biomaterials, barrier membranes, and suturing techniques. Attendees will learn about the decision-making process for selecting appropriate grafting materials and clinical protocols to ensure predictable clinical outcomes. Additionally, surgical considerations and techniques for alveolar ridge preservation, guided bone regeneration (GBR), and augmentation of ridge width and height will be discussed. The presentation will also cover potential complications associated with these procedures and practical strategies for effective management. By the end of this course, participants will have the knowledge and skills to effectively manage extraction sites and optimize them for successful implant placement using the latest evidence-based techniques and materials.

This section represents the Lecture part of the course.
You can choose to take it solely, without the hands-on session and so, by adding this section you would have registered for the Lecture only.
If you wish to take the hands-on version, please scroll down and add DNTL-DENT0201-003 to your cart before checking out.

At the end of this course, participants will:
  • Understand the fundamental biology of bone remodeling and resorption as it relates to potential future implant placement.
  • Identify and classify bone defects in edentulous sites to determine the appropriate approach for implant site development.
  • Recognize the various bone graft materials and barrier membranes, learn how to handle them appropriately for extraction site grafting use.
  • Perform alveolar ridge preservation and guided bone regeneration on simulated models, addressing a range of soft and hard tissue defects to enhance future implant placement outcomes.
  • Demonstrate suturing techniques specifically designed to achieve primary closure in grafted and augmented sites.
  • Identify common complications associated with alveolar ridge preservation in the context of implant site development and apply appropriate management strategies.
