Overview:
Creating longevity in implant dentistry is the summation of three main elements.
1. Confidence in implant stability, position, and angulation
2. Comfort level with the technique or approach employed
3. A cornucopia of bone
Site development is at the core of my surgical technique, and minimally invasive ridge augmentations are just one of the ways I can achieve confidence and a level of comfort in my implant placement. Utilizing this GBR (guided bone regeneration) approach, we will explore how to create our cornucopia of bone to ensure maximum bone volume at the time of implant placement
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to achieve the following:
• Clinically identify sites where the bone is deficient in a horizontal dimension
• Understand the steps involved in performing a minimally invasive ridge augmentation procedure
• Design a full-thickness flap for visibility and access to the surgical site
• Perform a periosteal release that will allow for tension-free closure of the augmented site
• Understand how and why we decorticate the cortical bone
• Understand the use of a resorbable membrane in order to idealize its GBR properties
• Create primary closure via various suturing techniques and materials
Note: The fee to view this course is $36. This cost includes the fee to take the exam and claim your CE credits.
