  3. Luca De Stavola - ADI Masterclass: Hard and Soft Tissue Augmentation: The Science, Biology and Practicality

Luca De Stavola

Bone Augmentation Utilising Autogenous Techniques

Abstract

Bone augmentation procedures are often involved in implant dentistry since tooth loss and pathology reduce the available bone for a correct 3-dimensional implant placement. Biological knowledge of new bone formation is fundamental for a clinician who wants to perform predictable surgeries. This lecture will  focus on those biological aspects that have a relevant clinical impact on the outcome of the surgical procedures, to help the surgeon make the optimal choice in terms of technique and graft material to be selected.

Learning Objectives

  • To understand the biological principles for bone augmentation
  • To know the biological classification of the defect
  • To understand when autogenous bone is the right choice
  • To understand hard tissue augmentation strategy in a critical size defect
