About This Course
Advanced Techniques in Soft and Hard Tissue Grafting (GTR & GBR)
Advanced Techniques in Soft and Hard Tissue Grafting
This is a two-day conference covering surgical techniques that will enable the clinician to address both the soft and hard tissue needs of the patient. From single tooth to advanced full arch cases, this conference will address the treatment planning process, and then implement sequential surgical phases to regenerate the hard and soft tissue complex.
It will address advanced hard tissue surgical techniques to regenerate ideal ridge form prior to implant placement including ridge expansion, onlay vs inlay grafts, hybrid composite grafts, and vertical vs horizontal graft principles.

Advanced Course in Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR)
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.
