What happens after a tooth is extracted, and how can we best preserve the surrounding tissues for future implant placement?
The Faculty of Dental Medicine and Health Osijek invites you to a scientific forum on Monday, 26 October 2026, at 1:00 p.m., in Strossmayer Hall, Faculty of Dental Medicine and Health Osijek, Crkvena 21, Osijek. Associate Professor Željka Perić Kačarević, PhD, will deliver a lecture entitled “Tooth Out, What Now?”
Tooth extraction initiates physiological resorption of the alveolar ridge, making appropriate extraction socket management essential for bone preservation and planning future implant therapy. The lecture will explore an individualised approach to different clinical situations, from sockets with an intact buccal bone wall to those with substantial bone loss, with a focus on selecting suitable regenerative techniques and biomaterials.
Through clinical cases, participants will gain insight into socket assessment, treatment selection, and the preservation of bone and soft tissue volume to support predictable implant treatment outcomes.
Students, faculty members, clinicians, and all those interested in the topic are warmly invited to attend and join the discussion.
We look forward to welcoming you!
