In this episode of the gIDE Unlocked Podcast, Dr. Sascha Jovanovic sits down with Dr. José Carlos da Rosa from Brazil — the creator of the groundbreaking IDR Protocol (Immediate Dentin Grafting and Reconstruction Technique). For over two decades, Dr. da Rosa has refined a revolutionary method to treat compromised extraction sockets using 100% autogenous bone and soft tissue harvested from the maxillary tuberosity — avoiding biomaterials, minimizing patient discomfort, and achieving remarkable soft-tissue stability and aesthetic results. Join Dr. Jovanovic and Dr. da Rosa as they explore:

✅ The origins and evolution of the IDR Protocol

✅ How to manage socket defects with missing buccal, palatal, or multiple walls

✅ The science behind soft-tissue stability and papilla preservation

✅ The learning curve for clinicians and how to properly train in the technique

✅ When to use the IDR Protocol and key contraindications to avoid

✅ Why immediate implants and immediate provisionalization can transform patient outcomes

✅ Insights from over 1,000+ clinical cases and 61 countries of teaching experience

Whether you're a periodontist, implantologist, restorative dentist, or educator, this episode dives deep into one of the most talked-about innovations in modern implant dentistry.

📘 Dr. José Carlos da Rosa is the author of "IDR — Immediate Dentin Grafting and Reconstruction Technique" (Quintessence Publishing), now in its second English edition.
