Abstract:

Take your implantology to the next level with this hands-on workshop covering the advanced implantology techniques of Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) and sinus augmentation. This course covers scientific and clinical rationale for case selection, treatment planning and techniques to allow for implant placement into atrophic ridges. Particular emphasis will be given on incision design and soft tissue management to improve surgical outcomes. Participants will each place an implant into an atrophic dummy ridge and learn how to achieve a high primary stability in limited bone. Participants will also fixate a membrane and augment a bone substitute to cover the dehisced implant. Finally, participants will create an osseous window to access the maxillary sinus and practice the techniques of sinus augmentation through direct and indirect approaches with simultaneous implant placement. Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to identify cases that require augmentation using GBR or sinus lift, treatment plan these cases and perform these techniques in a predictable manner.
