Tissue Regeneration versus Tissue Grafting
Alveolar bone loss occurs when teeth are removed. The patient should be informed of the various treatment modalities to restore and maintain the integrity of the natural arch form for the replacement of lost teeth. The result of the procedure should support dental implants, dentures, or a fixed bridge for long term function and esthetics. Should it be a grafting procedure or regenerative procedure or augmentation procedure? What determines the success of the procedure? Will the result support all prosthetic replacements? These questions as well as those regarding restoration and ridge preservation and techniques will be answered in this presentation. This course is to provide evidence based information to evaluate grafting materials for dentistry based on various results in humans.
Course Objectives:
· To understand the difference of tissue grafting and tissue regeneration
· To understand the biological mechanism of bone formation in grafting and tissue regeneration procedures
· To understand the need for tissue regeneration and why it is needed
· To select the proper materials based upon the objective
· To determine the time and sequence for ridge preservation
· To defend the procedure clinically, functionally, and histologically
