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.
