Course Description

The alveolar ridge requires a fair amount of bone volume for successful restoration over implants. Whether pre-operative or at second stage surgery, several surgical options have been suggested to restore the alveolar ridge volume. Priority should be given to simpler and less invasive procedures, involving less risk of complications and achievement of goals in a shorter period.
In this lecture, Dr. Fred Silva, Clinical Assistant Professor, Periodontist at Texas A&M Baylor College of Dentistry and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, will share his clinical experience, and discuss techniques and materials used in less invasive procedures for restoration of volume, resulting in a functional and esthetically pleasing outcome.

Learning Objectives

• Knowledge of treating buccal bone loss
• Knowledge of lateral augmentation procedures
• Knowledge of less invasive procedures for volume restoration
• Knowledge of handling different clinical scenarios
