OVERVIEW

Cytocone Procedure: Conservative Repair of a Buccal Plate Dehiscence in Preparation for Implant Placement is organized by Dental Learning Systems, LLC and will be held from May 01, 2018 - May 31, 2021.

The target audience for this medical event is for Dentists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 2.00 Self Study Credits.

Description:
In type II sockets, the soft-tissue level is at or coronal to the cementoenamel junction, and part of the buccal plate is missing. In the esthetic zone, a patient with this type of situation often is not a good candidate for immediate implant placement until the osseous defect is repaired. Therefore, use of a conservative regenerative procedure to repair such a defective socket would be advantageous. The Cytocone procedure utilizes a nonresorbable dense polytetrafluorethylene (d-PTFE) barrier and modifies the classic "ice cream cone" technique to restore a buccal osseous defect without raising a labial flap. This article describes and illustrates the Cytocone procedure.

Learning Objectives:
• Recognize the need to overcome misunderstandings about the safety and provision of dental care during a healthy pregnancy
• Discuss limitations of traditional clinician-driven dental health education and the benefits of a patient-centered approach to behavior change
• Review evidence for the effectiveness of motivational interviewing (MI) to gain positive health outcomes
• Describe tools that enable dental professionals to apply the principles of MI in a clinical setting among pregnant patients

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
