Advanced Course in Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR)
Improving the predictability of alveolar ridge augmentation: avoiding common pitfalls
Abstract:
Regeneration of bone deficiencies requires: 1) proper diagnosis, 2) risk assessment to determine the likelihood of success, 3) the selection of appropriate techniques, materials, and protocols, 4) careful surgical execution, and 5) follow-up and management of complications.
Although many techniques, materials, and protocols are available, emphasis will be placed on those that are evidence-based, have the highest potential for achieving desired outcomes, are associated with lower patient morbidity, and have a lower risk of complications. The choice of bone graft material and the utility of biologics (recombinant platelet-derived growth factor, rhPDGF, and platelet-rich fibrin, PRF) will be discussed. Bone augmentation often results in a loss of vestibular depth and may require vestibuloplasty or soft tissue augmentation.
This presentation will start with an explanation of the concepts and theoretical aspects, followed by a description of the step-by-step protocol. The hands-on part will begin with a demonstration, and then have participants perform each procedure.
Educational objectives:
By the end of this program, participants will acquire practical experience with:
Risk Assessment and Classification
Material Selection: autogenous Bone vs biomaterial
Rationale for the application of membranes
The response to various membranes
Flap design considerations in various oral sites
Bone and Graft Stabilization
Vestibular and Soft Tissue Management: Application of Tissue Substitutes
Complications: Recognition and Management
Effectively assess risks and classify bone deficiencies.
Select appropriate graft materials for successful outcomes.
Execute flap management and stabilization techniques.
Recognize and manage potential complications in bone regeneration.
