ABOUT THE COURSEThe core philosophy of this course is PRESERVATION — preserving ridge dimensions, preserving tissues, and preserving future treatment options. Every extraction initiates biological changes, and the clinician’s decisions at this moment largely determine whether the site remains predictable or becomes compromised.
This course focuses on what to do immediately after extraction, based on socket morphology, risk assessment, and long-term implant planning.
THEORETICAL PART
Ridge dimensional changes following tooth extraction
Post-extraction socket: to graft or not to graft?
Graft materials: indications, limitations, and material selection
Flap vs. flapless approaches — biological and clinical consequences
Decision criteria: intact socket vs. compromised socket
Intact socket treatment strategies
Immediate, early, or delayed implant placement
Risk assessment, including aesthetic risk assessment in the aesthetic zone
Immediately placed implants
Partial Extraction Therapy (PET)
Biological background and literature
Root submergence therapy
Socket shield: indications, preparation, and execution
Compromised socket treatment strategies
mIVAN technique
post-ex implant
Composite tuberosity bone graft
Complications and complication management
Soft tissue management is addressed as part of preservation and stability, not as a standalone topic. In post-extraction therapy, hard-tissue preservation without soft-tissue control is biologically incomplete.

Snjezana Pohl began her professional journey in human medicine in Zagreb before continuing her education in dentistry in Germany, where she trained at LMU Munich while raising a young family. A defining moment in her career came during her oral surgery residency and later through advanced soft tissue training, which shaped her preservation-oriented, periodontally driven approach to treatment. With over 25 years of clinical experience, she has performed extensive surgical work in the aesthetic zone, published original techniques in peer-reviewed journals, and educated dentists worldwide. Today, she focuses on diagnosis, surgical planning, advanced clinical procedures, and mentoring the next generation of clinicians through education.
