Dr. Karl Koerner also teaches socket bone grafting reviewing what works and what doesnt from his own personal experience over many years. He will also talk about managing potential bleeding problems with patients on aspirin, Coumadin, and Plavix. Copyright, Chicago Dental Society 2009 All rights reserved.
