discusses one-step ridge preservation as well as how to enhance the implant site by combining novel biomaterials with autologous growth factors. From simple and cost-effective socket grafting to more advanced clinical concepts such as sinus lifts and PRF, this course covers a spectrum of pliable preformed shapes used in bone grafting procedures for implant placement. Surgical techniques and novel biomaterials will be discussed using Synthetic Bioactive Resorbable Calcium Phosphate crystals combined with Bovine Achilles Tendon Collagen to form composite grafting material.
Learning Objectives:
• understand alveolar ridge preservation and why it is important to graft sockets as well
as recognize the clinical indications and benefits of this procedure
• learn novel techniques for successful sinus elevation
• demonstrate simple, predictable and cost-effective socket grafting techniques without
use of a membrane
