This presentation means to move you away from the status quo, taking you through such innovative procedures as: grafting without using autologous bone at all; and doing PET without extracting a single fragment of a root. Biology rules the way healing occurs, not only after tooth extraction, but also upon implant removal. On both previous clinical sets healing leads to several degrees of collapse.

The better understanding of how biology works is determinant in anticipating and overcoming both bone and soft tissue collapse.

Novel strategies and materials are available to better tackle these new challenges, in more predictable and less invasive ways than ever before. Zero autologous bone grafting and reversing PET can be valid alternatives to game changing site development, after implant removal and tooth extraction.
