Workshop Abstract:

Vertical GBR; Management of the most severe cases and tricks and tips to achieve success.

The prerequisite to deliver dental implants in a correct three-dimensional position is to have sufficient volume of bone. Moderate to severe bone defects are quite common and therefore constitute a significant challenge to the clinician. Vertical bone augmentation is still considered one of the most challenging clinical scenarios.

Skilled use of regenerative materials can overcome the patients’ morbidity issues associate to the use of large autogenous grafts.  This course programme provides the knowledge and core skills required to allow dentists to manage severe bone defects with the use of Guided Bone Regeneration techniques. This will enable dentists to treat more patients and provide them with cutting edge technology to treat the most challenging cases.

Upon successful completion of this course programme, students will be able to:

  • Understand the theory of Guided Bone Regeneration
  • Undertake expert patient diagnosis for vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation
  • Make informed choices in graft selection and treatment planning
  • Apply the latest techniques to reconstruct peri-implant soft and hard tissues
  • Perform micro-surgical suturing techniques and practical flap management
  • Devise effective post-operative protocols
  • Learn about complications and how to manage them
