Saving teeth and implants, the final goal!
Patients are everyday more demanding, using the implant solutions to solve their edentulism problems and also trying to save their teeth for as long as possible. They obviously would prefer to solve them in less surgery sessions possible. In most cases, the hard and soft tissues in both jaws change significantly with aging and various factors. Often, different graft materials are required to be placed to maintain the volume of hard and soft tissue and thus maintain teeth and implants in time. We used the autologous teeth grinding systems and various biomaterials of the latest generation, in various procedures involving enhancement and improvement of teeth and implant sites with several mini-invasive techniques. The procedure for soft and hard tissue graft preparation is not always simple and often requires time to acquire and so does the technical skills needed. However, the obtained grafts exhibit very good stability and ease of use. Implant management systems and those that create an adequate implant emergence profile comparable to natural teeth are also a valuable asset in our hand.
Learning objectives
- Properly diagnose the case of perio and dental implant problems.
- A short review of the grafting materials, pros and cons
- Methodology of treatment and adequate treatment planning with the final outcome in mind.
Endodontic surgery with bone replacement
Patients are everyday more demanding, trying to save their teeth for as long as possible. This brings many times the need for surgery. They obviously would prefer to solve in less surgery sessions possible. In most cases, the hard and soft tissues around the teeth change significantly with infection, aging and various factors. Often, different graft materials are required to be placed to maintain the volume of hard and soft tissue and thus maintain these teeth in time. The use of grafts in endodontic surgery procedures as backed up from literature, presents a procedure that enhances the healing chances and survival short and long term. The procedure for soft and hard tissue graft preparation is not always simple and often requires time to acquire and so does the technical skills needed. Better start a surgery after trying retreatment as an option whenever possible. New concepts in the preprogramming and guided surgery strongly influence the long-term success. To conclude grafting with suitable materials is in many cases improving the outcome even in small defects and a must in big ones.
Learning objectives
- Knowing and understanding the rationales of grafting. Different techniques and their invasivity.
- Grafting materials available to use in the dental practice and choosing the most suitable grafting materials.
- Specific instruments to perform grafting in endo surgery
- Noninvasive flap techniques.
