OVERVIEW
As teeth are lost, the alveolar bone is lost with them. It is the responsibility
of the dental profession to diagnosis the current and potential future
problems. The dentist is also to inform the patient of various treatment
modalities to restore and maintain the integrity of the natural arch
form for the replacement of the lost teeth. The result of the procedure
should support dental implants, dentures, or a fixed bridge for long
term function and esthetics for the patient. Should the procedure
be a bone graft, soft tissue graft, a tissue regeneration procedure,
or
tissue augmentation procedure? What is the difference? Should the graft
material be Osteoinductive or Osteoconductive? Should the material
be an Autograft, an Allograft, a Xenograft, Alloplast or a J-Block?
Should the material be mineralized or demineralized? Should a membrane
be utilized? What determines the success of the procedure? Will the
result support all prosthetic replacements? These questions and other
questions regarding restoration and ridge preservation of the upper
and lower arches and techniques will be answered in this presentation.
The purpose of this
presentation is to provide evidence based information to evaluate grafting
materials for periodontal, restorative, and implant dentistry based
upon clinical, esthetic, functional, and histological results in humans.
Objectives
•
To understand the biological mechanism of bone formation in grafting
and tissue regeneration
procedures.
•
To understand the difference of tissue grafting and tissue regeneration.
•
To identify the need for tissue regeneration.
•
To understand why tissue regeneration is needed.
•
To select the proper materials based upon the objective.
•
To determine the time and sequence for ridge preservation.
•
To defend the procedure clinically, functionally, and histologically.
