RIDGE AUGMENTATION USING DIFFERENT BLOCK & GRAFT TECHNIQUES

Symposium & workshop on Bone Augmentation Techniques

Symposium Synopsis

Ridge augmentation is a common adjuvant surgical procedure for implant supported restorations. Among all the grafting materials, autogenous bone graft still remains the gold standard for a variety of alveolar augmentation or implant site preparation.

A) Procurement of Intra-Oral Bone Block by Dr Michael Chen

This lecture will focus on intra-oral donor site preparation, including mandibular symphysis, ramus(buccal shelf), maxillary tuberosity and zygomatic buttress. A “step by step” chin block harvesting will be introduced.

B) Alveolar Ridge Augmentation by Intra-Oral “Tent- Pole Concept” by Dr Michael Chen

In this lecture, recipient site procedures will be discussed in depth including how to create an “expanded soft tissue matrix” to accommodate the bulky grafted materials and how intra-oral“Tent-Pole” concept works well with autogenous bone grafts

Vertical Grafting of Ring-shaped Bone Transplants by Dr Bernhard Giesenhagen

The technique presented in this lecture will demonstrate that three-dimensional vertical grafts of bone defects and the placement of implant can be carried out in a single surgical procedure with exactly fitted bone ring grafts. The recipient site is prepared and the graft is harvested with trephine drills. The implant site is prepared in the graft before its removal from the donor site allowing rigid fixation when the graft is fixed at the recipient site by the implant. In order to achieve full treatment success, several requirements must be met.

Hands-on Workshop on Ring Technique By Bernhard Giesenhagen

Dr Giesenhagen will be conducting a hands-on workshop on Ring Technique for vertical augmentation with Bone Rings. This workshop will consist of lectures and video presentation on the technique. During the workshop, participants will be working on plastic jaws. Ring grafts will be harvested from the jaws and grafted at another site with an implant. In addition, opportunity will be given to do grafting using Bovine Xenograft.
