The changing face of bone grafting for orthognathic surgery

Traditional grafting of osteotomies used autologous bone from the iliac crest and more recently bone grafts from the mandible. Contemporary techniques now involve the use of xenografts alone or in combination with autologous bone to bridge continuity defects. Xenografts are also now used to aid in contouring defects in the mid face and mandible. These modalities will be discussed with the aid of clinical examples.

Contemporary concepts and grafting techniques for soft and hard tissues in implant dentistry

This lecture will discuss decision making in regenerative therapy. Ridge preservation techniques, horizontal and vertical bone augmentation, sinus lifting and grafting in combination with simultaneous implant placement will be review and discussed. Adequate soft tissue management is a further critical aspect to enhance long term predictability of dental implants, which will also be covered in this lecture.
