Instructor:  Vera Tang, D.D.S.

Synopsis:   The Great Debate: Save It  or Extract It? provides a comprehensive, case-based approach to one of the most critical challenges in clinical practice. Participants will learn how to systematically evaluate periodontal prognosis using diagnostic parameters, risk assessment, and the 2017 classification system. Through carefully curated cases—attendees will explore when teeth can be predictably maintained with regenerative and multidisciplinary therapies, and when extraction offers a more favorable, long-term outcome. The program also examines decision-making around implant therapy, socket preservation, and full-mouth rehabilitation. Emphasis is placed on clinical reasoning, treatment sequencing, and patient-centered care. Designed for general dentists and specialists alike, this seminar delivers practical, evidence-based insights that can be immediately applied to everyday practice to improve treatment outcomes and long-term stability.
