Innovations for Esthetic Implant Surgery with Growth Factors

This presentation will provide a clinical update on esthetic implant site development.  The utilization of recombinantly engineered platelet-derived growth factor-BB (rhPDGF-BB) has accelerated the trend toward minimally invasive surgical procedures to preserve and enhance the esthetic foundation for dental implant restorations.

 

 

Learning Objectives:
• Understand the use of growth factor technology to reduce the need for autogenous bone grafting and allow for minimally invasive procedures
• Understand how to apply tissue engineering to clinical decision-making to achieve optimal biologic and esthetic results for challenging dental implant cases
• Understand techniques utilizing  rhPDGF-BB for combined hard and soft tissue grafting
