Socket Shield Technique - Dentistry eBooks

Course Overview

Presented by Dr. Markus Hürzeler, one of the developers of the Socket Shield Technique, this course details the biological rationale and surgical protocol behind a one-surgery approach for immediate implant placement in the esthetic frontal zone. Rather than a secondhand account, the course reflects 15 years of direct refinement and clinical innovation by one of the technique's originators.

The curriculum traces the evolution of the surgical protocol and its refinements over time, covering indications, advantages, and classification systems for case selection. It works through shield stabilization technique and complication management, giving practitioners a genuinely complete understanding of both why the technique works biologically and how to execute it reliably.

Across 4 hours 51 minutes of content, the course is designed to help clinicians preserve soft and hard tissue volume around immediate implants, supporting long-term stability and optimal esthetic outcomes in the anterior zone.
