Immediate Implant Placement in the Anterior Esthetic Zone: Predictable Esthetics. A Seminar with Dennis Tarnow. "Comfort" option

An exclusive course by Dennis Tarnow focused on the management of the extraction socket, precise implant positioning, and predictable outcomes in the esthetic zone.

The course explores the key factors that determine the success of immediate implant placement: socket classification, extraction techniques, blood supply and thickness of the facial bone plate, 3D implant positioning, peri-implant soft tissue management, and the selection of bone grafting materials.

Particular attention is given to clinical decision-making in challenging situations: primary versus secondary intention healing, the need for connective tissue grafting, the Dual-Zone technique, immediate implant placement in the presence of apical pathology, the use of co-axial implants, and the Socket Shield technique.

Course lecturer — Dennis Tarnow. Clinical Professor of Periodontology, author of more than 250 peer-reviewed publications and textbooks, and an internationally recognized speaker who has lectured in more than 45 countries.

After completing the course, you will:

— Learn to evaluate extraction sockets and predict post-extraction tissue changes
— Be able to select the optimal immediate implant placement protocol based on the anatomy and clinical situation
— Master the principles of 3D implant positioning in the esthetic zone
— Learn how to make evidence-based decisions regarding primary versus secondary intention healing and gap management
— Understand the indications for bone grafting materials and connective tissue grafting
— Apply the Dual-Zone and Socket Shield techniques in clinical practice
— Develop clear treatment algorithms for challenging cases, including apical pathology and the risk of facial plate perforation.

This course is an opportunity to learn contemporary immediate implant placement protocols directly from one of the clinicians who helped shape the modern approach to esthetic implant dentistry.
