VST course now available for US dental implant specialist

Workshop

In this unique course you will get the opportunity to try specially fabricated training VST models, newly designed VST instruments Kit, and learn how to place immediate implants via cad cam on the training model, and watch the unique VST animations that facilitate the complete understanding of the concept.

The art & science
of the vestibular socket therapy

Course Description:
This course will highlight the extensively published studies using the VST protocol with a special emphasis on the long term (three years) follow up data. The VST protocol offers shortened treatment time, reduced the number of surgical interventions to only one, preserve the original socket orifice topography with minimal or no mid facial post restorative recession, and allowed the total socket rehabilitation. The vestibular socket therapy allowed the placement of immediate implants in sockets presented with active infective signs, by using the VST 6 days protocol. The presentation will also highlight the vestibular root removal protocol that allowed the removal of sub gingivally located roots without any risk of any soft tissue laceration nor socket osseous housing expansion, and the vestibular socket preservation technique that presents a new vision of socket preservation that eliminated the previous known pitfalls of the conventional method.

Lecture abstract:

The presence of chronic infection or labial plate of bone defects related to fresh extraction sites, presents a real challenge to clinicians, the decision whether to delay implant placement or to place implants immediately possess a higher risk and potential treatment complications, This presentation describes a novel clinical protocol to treat wide varieties of fresh extraction sites (thin, or deficient labial plate of bone, severely compromised, actively infected) with immediate implant placement, the protocol is designed to repair defective socket walls ( labial & palatal) while placing immediate implant at the same surgical setting thus providing immediacy and predictable outcome. The VST intervention offers minimal or no mid facial recession due to the lack of any surgical manipulation at the gingival keratinized sites. The VST protocol offered shortened treatment time, reduced the number of surgical interventions, preserved the original socket topography during the steps of the treatment until the treatment completion, and allowed the complete socket rehabilitation in sockets presented with active signs of infection with immediate implant placement and bone regeneration.
