Current Advances in Socket and Horizontal Bone Augmentation

Implant site development is performed at time of extraction and during implant placement to prevent ridge resorption as well as to augment ridge width and height for better implant placement and esthetic outcome. Bone grafting, either horizontal or vertical, is often needed to facilitate ideal implant placement.  Techniques currently available for horizontal bone augmentation include, but are not limited to, guided bone regeneration (i.e., sandwich bone augmentation), monocortical only graft (either auto- or allo-genic), and ridge split/expansion. This presentation will briefly discuss these approaches.  This presentation will focus on a “decision tree” that will allow clinicians to choose the most predictable procedure for socket management (e.g., Colla-plug and PTFE techniques) and horizontal bone augmentation (e.g., GBR with tenting and sandwich bone augmentation).

 

Learning Objectives:
• Become familiar with decision making of how to select certain techniques for socket augmentation
• Recognize the decision tree for selecting proper augmentation technique
• Be familiar with sandwich bone augmentation, allo- and autogenic block graft and ridge split/expansion for horizontal bone augmentation
