Abstract

Optimizing and achieving predictable dental implant placement requires careful management of implant site preparation through thoughtful biomaterial selection, and sound surgical protocols. This webinar will explore evidence-based strategies for dental implant site preparation with emphasis on matching grafting materials and membranes to site-specific clinical needs to enhance bone regeneration and soft tissue stability. Furthermore, the lecture will examine how to optimize implant osseointegration by analyzing the cellular mechanisms and biological timelines that influence healing post implant placement.

Learning Objectives:

  • Determine the fundamental biology of bone remodeling and resorption post dental extraction as it relates to potential future implant placement.
  • Recognize the different bone graft and barrier membrane biomaterial options and their clinical applications.
  • Analyze the chronological phases of dental implant osseointegration and apply knowledge of biomaterial combinations to optimize clinical outcomes.
