[Excellence in Restorative Dentistry Lecture Series], Surgical Management of Atrophic Mandible for Implant Placement with Dr. Raquel Zita Gomes

Room B-13

Time: 12:00 – 1:00 pm
Registration Fee: Free; sign-in is required
CE Credits: 1.0 lecture credits

Course Description

Implant therapy is a recognized treatment for edentulous areas with long term success. Nevertheless, in some critical situations we must use different techniques of advanced oral surgery and bone regeneration to permit the implant placement avoiding the damage of important anatomical structures, like the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). In severe cases of posterior mandible atrophy we must use very specific techniques to solve the problem, like short or tilted implants or even more advanced techniques like nerve transposition, trespass and lateralization.

Educational Objectives

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be:

• To understand the different options to avoid or manipulate the inferior alveolar nerve for implant placement.
• To explain in detail (including indications and limitations) the different techniques with some clinical cases.
• To clear that oral neurosurgery is not a myth and can be a reality in specific extreme cases.
