Extractions that preserve the ridge — Dale Rosenbach’s seven-part series on atraumatic exodontia
Columbia-trained periodontist and implant surgeon Dale Rosenbach devotes ATRAUMATIC Tooth Extraction: Principles, Concepts, Techniques to removing teeth while protecting bone and soft tissue. Seven lectures (6 h 30 min) move from biology and case assessment through instruments, anaesthesia and minimal-flap techniques to socket grafting and postoperative complications.
- 7lectures
- 6 h 30 minof video
What you’ll be able to do
- Explain the role of periosteum and Sharpey’s fibres in socket preservation
- Assess each tooth radiographically and decide on indications and contraindications
- Work with periotomes, luxators, physics forceps and elevators
- Section and remove bone gently with piezo or reverse-handpiece techniques
- Choose graft materials and membranes and time re-entry for implants
- Prevent dry socket and manage nerve injury or socket defects
Inside the course
Biology and case selection
The first two parts establish why atraumatic technique preserves the alveolus, then deal with radiographic analysis and preoperative evaluation.
Instruments and anaesthesia
Part three compares modern extraction instruments; part four focuses on pain control adapted to low-trauma procedures.
Surgical approach and healing
The longer later lectures cover limited flap reflection and careful bone removal, socket healing biology with grafts and membranes, and finally suturing, aftercare instructions and complication management.
Built for
- General dentists planning implants after extractionKeeps the ridge in shape for later placement.
- Periodontists and oral surgeonsA systematic review of instruments and grafting choices.
- Newer cliniciansBuilds safe habits for difficult extractions.

Before you buy
Does the series stray into general periodontics?
No; all seven parts concern extraction and socket management, even though the author lectures widely on periodontics and implants.
Are there live surgical videos?
They are lectures; the format of clinical footage within them is not detailed.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
