Master the socket shield technique for immediate implants — 9 focused video lessons with Mark Bishara
Mark Bishara walks you through partial extraction therapy in Immediate Implants with Socket Shield: Partial Extraction Protocol, a compact program of nine video lessons totalling just over an hour. By leaving a thin buccal fragment of the root in place, you protect the periodontal ligament and blood supply that normally vanish after extraction, keeping the ridge and gingival margin stable around an immediate fixture.

What you’ll be able to do
- Perform the socket shield technique during immediate implant placement
- Shape the bevel and edge of the retained root fragment correctly
- Judge indications and contraindications before committing to the approach
- Manage early and late complications when they appear
- Apply the concept to proximal shields, molars and pontic sites
Inside the course
Rationale and technique
Bishara explains why keeping part of the root preserves the buccal plate, then demonstrates the cut, the instruments and the operative sequence. Variations in shield height relative to bone and fixture, and the gap-or-no-gap question, are worked through on real cases.
Indications, variants and pitfalls
You review where the method fits and where it does not, including proximal shields, deciduous teeth and simultaneous apicoectomy. Complication management and a set of histology images round out the clinical picture.
Consensus and evidence
The closing lesson summarises the 2017 Madrid expert meeting on shield height, implant position and gap filling, giving you a reference point rooted in collective clinical experience.

Before you buy
How long is the actual video content?
The nine lessons run about one hour in total, so this is a concentrated primer rather than a multi-day program.
Does it cover molars and proximal sites?
Yes. One lesson is devoted to variants including proximal shields, molars, the pontic shield and combinations with orthodontics.
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.
