Course Description
This two-day bone grafting course will feature a combination of scientific lecture with hands-on training utilizing cadaver specimens. The course will focus on the principles of guided bone regeneration in implant dentistry and cover the most up-to-date techniques in bone grafting to improve long-term clinical success with dental implants. Indications for immediate implant placement in extraction sockets will also be addressed. This course is designed for the clinician that has prior implant experience and would like to broaden his/her knowledge and scope of practice and improve surgical skills.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, participants will have a more thorough understanding of:
- Criteria for patient selection
- Step-by-step surgical procedure
- Selection of biomaterials
- Biologic modifiers and their relationship to bone regeneration
- Flap design for optimal esthetics and predictability
- Extraction techniques and guided bone regeneration in various post-extraction defects
- Immediate implant placement in extraction sockets
- Guided bone regeneration for simultaneous implant placement - “the Esthetic Contour Graft”
- Guided bone regeneration for vertical ridge augmentation
- Proper use of screws in the “screw tent-pole grafting” technique
- Management of complications
