Socket shield, drilling through roots, immediate placement and All-on-4: four contemporary implant techniques with cases
Portuguese implantologist Darcio Luis Fonseca, a University of Miami implant fellow and guest professor at several Iberian universities, reviews current surgical options in Modern techniques in implantology: review and analyze. Four lectures (5 h 33 min) explain partial extraction therapy, the drilling-through-root method, immediate implants and full-arch All-on-4 rehabilitation, each backed by clinical cases.

What you’ll be able to do
- Select cases for partial extraction therapy and the socket-shield technique
- Use a retained root as a guide with the DTR technique
- Classify sockets and secure primary stability for immediate implants
- Plan 3D position, grafting and emergence profile with immediate provisionals
- Understand surgical and prosthetic steps of All-on-4 and modified variants
Inside the course
Keeping the buccal root fragment
The PET lecture sets out indications and contraindications, what preserves the alveolar crest, how the socket shield is prepared, and the rules that separate success from failure.
Drilling through roots
A shorter session shows how the root itself guides the osteotomy in immediate placement, with its surgical rationale, technique and cases.
Immediate implants in depth
The longest clinical lecture covers diagnosis, socket classification, implant design, positioning, grafting, emergence shaping, provisionalisation and risk assessment.
Full-arch rehabilitation
The final lecture describes the All-on-4 concept and its modifications, together with the prosthodontic phase and completed cases.

Before you buy
Is it hands-on or lecture-based?
It is a lecture review with clinical case presentations, not a practical workshop.
Is the full-arch section detailed enough to start All-on-4?
It explains the concept, modifications and prosthetics, but full-arch surgery normally needs supervised training beyond a recorded lecture.
Which All-on-4 variants are discussed?
The lecture covers the standard protocol plus modified versions of the technique, illustrated with finished cases.
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.
