Bone Regeneration Techniques in Implant Dentistry - LIVE STREAM

Dental implants are the most contemporary methods for the treatment of edentulism. Alveolar bone atrophy following tooth extractions, periodontal diseases, oral pathologies or trauma makes it difficult to place dental implants. If the bone dimensions are not enough to place the implants into the jaw, bone regeneration techniques are required to augment the bone tissue. The current bone regeneration techniques are socket preservation, guided bone regeneration, ridge split, open and closed sinus floor augmentation, block bone augmentation, khoury technique, bone ring technique, and distraction osteogenesis. Choosing the appropriate biomaterials and bone regeneration techniques according to the type of bone atrophy are crucial for long-term success. In this course, contemporary bone regeneration techniques and biomaterials will be illustrated with clinical cases and methodology. This course is a great opportunity for dentists interested in dental implant treatment to increase their knowledge of bone augmentation techniques.

Course Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Know the basic principles of bone regeneration mechanisms.
• Identify the types of alveolar bone atrophy.
• Know the biomaterials used for alveolar bone regeneration.
• Know the surgical techniques for alveolar bone regeneration.
• Understand the methodology for choosing correct biomaterial and surgical technique according to the type of the alveolar bone atrophy.
