Achieving Synergy in Surgery: From One-Step Ridge Preservation to Onlay Grafting and Enhancing the Implant Site

Description

This workshop discusses one-step ridge preservation as well as onlay grafting and how to enhance the implant site by combining novel biomaterials with autologous growth factors. From simple and cost-effective socket grafting to more advanced clinical concepts in bone regeneration, this course covers a spectrum of pliable preformed shapes used in bone grafting procedures for implant placement. Surgical techniques and novel biomaterials will be discussed using Synthetic Bioactive Resorbable Calcium Apatite crystals combined with bovine achilles tendon collagen to form composite grafting material.

Objectives

• Understand the role of new hybrid composite grafts
• Discuss the biologic and physiologic cellular response to dense bone filling augmentation materials
• Demonstrate simple, predictable and cost-effective socket grafting techniques without use of a membrane
