Date: 2 February 2022
Time: 1900 Refreshments 1930 Lecture
Location: The Harlow Hotel, Southern Way, Harlow, Essex, CM18 7BA

The long-term success of an implant-supported rehabilitation is strictly influenced by both the density and volume of available bone and the quality of soft tissues at the implant site.

Precise analyses of the anatomic situation and accurate planning of the treatment are crucial, because inaccurate and malpositioned implants may jeopardize long-term esthetic and functional prognosis. In addition, many types of biocompatible materials and different surgical techniques have been developed. In this presentation we will review and discuss procedures to achieve predictable and long-lasting results and the critical role of soft tissue augmentation.

Learning Objectives:

  • To understand the treatment planning and patient selection for grafting procedures.
  • To become familiar with concepts and techniques in bone grafting from incision to suturing.
  • Learn the use of biomaterials with autogenous bone and barrier membranes.
