LECTURE

DECODING BONE GRAFT MATERIAL SELECTION IN IMPLANT DENTISTRY

Mehrdad CD

Once a tooth is extracted, the natural wound-healing cascade paired with irreversible alteration occurs. Dr. Alina Krivitsky will explain more about the grafting techniques (hard and soft tissue) and prosthetic manipulations are required to attempt to reestablish the proper hard and soft tissue loses and proper emergence profile. Multiple grafting materials and surgical techniques (hard and soft tissue) have been proposed to reduce and repair the amount of ridge deformation.

After this lecture the participants should be able to:

Understand the extraction socket wound healing pattern and rationale for grafting
Understand the decision tree making of bone graft selection
Understand the mechanism of bone graft incorporation
