P173 Predictable Bone Grafting Using Titanium Mesh

About This Course

Guided Bone Regeneration is a procedure all dentists placing implants should be competent in. However, performing these procedures correctly and predictably can sometimes be a challenge, especially with larger grafts. This recorded webinar covers the basic principles of grafting, focusing on the importance of stabilisation; demonstrating this with the use of an implant supported titanium mesh membrane.

Aims

This course aims to provide learners with knowledge and understanding of guided bone regeneration. The basic principles of grafting are explained, with a focus on the importance of stabilisation, which is demonstrated by the use of an implant supported titanium mesh membrane.

Objectives

During this course learners will be able to:

• Understand the basic principles of guided bone regeneration.
• Discuss the importance of stabilisation of the graft and how this can be achieved.
• Discuss the method of using implant supported titanium mesh to stabilise a graft.
• Explain the importance of soft tissue closure in such cases, and methods for achieving this predictably.

Learning Outcomes

After completing this course the learner will gain an understanding of:

• The basic principles of guided bone regeneration, with a focus on the importance of stabilisation.
• The method of using implant supported titanium mesh to stabilise a graft.
