How to obtain the best clinical outcomes by utilizing socket grafting and alveolar ridge preservation
Lecture outline:
Managing tooth extraction sites to optimize potential future implant placement and rehabilitation can be challenging. This comprehensive course, led by a clinical scientist and periodontist specializing in periodontics and biomaterials, provides an evidence-based approach to selecting and utilizing bone graft materials and barrier membranes for single implant site preparation following tooth extraction. The lecture component will offer in-depth insights into the science behind bone graft biomaterials, barrier membranes, and suturing techniques. Attendees will learn about the decision-making process for selecting appropriate grafting materials and clinical protocols to ensure predictable clinical outcomes. Additionally, surgical considerations and techniques for alveolar ridge preservation, guided bone regeneration (GBR), and augmentation of ridge width and height will be discussed. The presentation will also cover potential complications associated with these procedures and practical strategies for effective management. By the end of this course, participants will have the knowledge and skills to effectively manage extraction sites and also optimize them for successful implant placement using the latest evidence-based techniques and materials.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this lecture and hands-on course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the fundamental biology of bone remodeling and resorption post extraction and as it relates to potential future implant placement.
- Identify and classify bone defects in edentulous sites to determine the appropriate approach for implant site development.
- Recognize the various bone graft materials and barrier membranes, and learn how to handle them appropriately for the use in extraction site grafting.
- Perform alveolar ridge preservation and guided bone regeneration on simulated models, addressing a range of soft and hard tissue defects to enhance future implant placement outcomes.
- Demonstrate suturing techniques specifically designed to achieve primary closure in grafted and augmented sites.
- Identify common complications associated with alveolar ridge preservation in the context of implant site development and apply appropriate management strategies.
