- Review the benefits of modern alloplastic biomaterials over traditional “guided bone regeneration”
- Explain the purpose of collagen membranes and why these are not needed with modern alloplast grafts, such as EthOss®
- Showcase a range of techniques to preserve the buccal palatal dimension post-extraction, including Partial Extraction Therapy
- Techniques to bypass the risk of gingival recession and loss of gingival height
The above techniques will be illustrated through cases from the speakers’ own clinical experience
Learners will be able to:
- Explain and review alternative biomaterials, highlighting the benefits and drawbacks of each
- Understand the application of EthOss in a variety of indications, including Partial Extraction Therapy, and how these techniques can help to preserve and improve both hard and soft tissue
- Have an advanced understanding of EthOss bone grafting material including the composition, mixing, preparation and application
- Analyse a selection of published research on modern alloplast biomaterials
