The treatment of patients with severely resorbed edentulous jaws using osseointegrated dental implants remains one of the most challenging goals in implant dentistry.

The long-term success and use of implants depends on the amount of adequate quantity and quality of jawbone and soft tissue available. In every-day implant practice it is common to see a patient with hard and soft tissue defect.

Different types of augmentation techniques have been used in implant dentistry. Grafting/augmentation/regeneration requires different types of materials and techniques used in implant dentistry. I would like to discuss the material and technique I use in my day to day implant practice, using representative cases.

Learning objectives:

  • To learn about the principles of hard and soft tissue augmentation
  • To understand when and where to use augmentation
  • To develop knowledge of the current material and technique available for bone augmentation
  • To learn about vertical/horizontal bone augmentation
  • To learn about soft tissue regeneration in implant dentistry
  • Techniques
  • Complications
