Dr. Dean Licenblat-PET-final

This 2-day course will enable general dentists to identify and provide solutions in cases where aesthetic outcomes are highly desired.
Partial Extraction Therapy is a collection of 3 surgical techniques that preserve the contour of the “pink aesthetic.” the most challenging zone for natural aesthetics!
PET offers a predictable alternative to traditional complex grafting techniques, which rebuild bone lost when the tooth is removed.

Each technique maintains the underlying natural shape & contour of the original root prominence, perfect for the following situations:

* Socket Shield (with Dental implant) keeps the natural buccal contour and maintains facial & interproximal bone.
* Traditional tooth-supported bridge: stops the cave-in post-extraction and provides stable tissue contour for the Pontic tooth.
* Ridge Preservation: prevents ridge collapse and maintenance, allowing for planned/unplanned later dental therapy.
* Avoiding surgical alveolar reduction, allowing for FP1 prosthetics vs FP3 prosthetics due to predictable ridge preservation

With a balance of didactics and hands-on exercises, you will become familiar with the surgical protocols and develop the knowledge and confidence to deliver new aesthetic solutions to your patients.

Over recent years, PET, with well-documented and predictable outcomes, has proven itself to be a highly desired “must-have” surgical technique in the surgical toolbox. Make this course your top priority for expanding treatment and achieving predictable results in your practice.
