Predictable Bone Grafting

January 8, 2022 3:00 PM - January 9, 2022 12:00 AM (GMT)

Key Essentials for Bone Grafting Techniques for Socket Preservation and Augmentation LECTURE: The Basics and Future Trends

Course Outline:

Prevention of alveolar bone loss and maintenance of alveolar bone structure and soft tissue are mandatory for the long term successful outcome of conventional or implant-supported prosthetic replacements. Soft and hard tissue complications can lead to unsatisfactory results for the patient including unacceptable esthetics, inadequate function, poor phonetics, and lack of confidence. This course emphasizes the identification of potential complications, the rationale for soft and hard tissue grafting, treatment planning and successful techniques for socket preservation and ridge augmentation in addition to the practical aspects of presentation and preparation of cases. Topics include an in depth discussion of the diagnosis and treatment planning for successful management of soft and hard tissue ridge defects; contemporary and future socket preservation and ridge augmentation techniques and the choice of appropriate graft materials and membranes for successful regeneration.

Learning Outcomes:

At the end of the program, participants will have learned:

• to correctly diagnose and treatment plan for soft and hard tissue defects

• predictable techniques for socket preservation and ridge augmentation

• when and where to use different flap designs

• which graft materials to use, when and how to incorporate membranes for successful socket preservation and ridge augmentation

• future trends for predictable soft and hard tissue grafting techniques

Predictable Bone Grafting for Site Preparation for Implants & Restorative Dentistry HANDS-ON WORKSHOP

Course Outline:

Prevention of alveolar bone loss and maintenance of alveolar bone structure are mandatory for long term stability of conventional or implant-supported prosthetic replacements. Soft and hard tissue complications can lead to unsatisfactory results for the patient. This course emphasizes the technical aspects of ridge preservation and augmentation in addition to the practical aspects of presenting and preparing cases. Today’s new generation of materials will work predictably in many defects. This hands-on workshop discusses contemporary grafting materials as well as types of defects the clinician can predictably fill. The indications and use of membranes are also covered. This course applies to all dentists placing and/or restoring implants, fixed bridgework and removable prostheses.

Learning Outcomes:

At the end of the program, participants will have learned:

• diagnosis and treatment planning for socket preservation and ridge augmentation

• when and how to perform atraumatic extractions

• the criteria to select the appropriate grafting material

• how to select and work with different membranes

• to select the correct flap designs for all procedures
