March Session

Thursday, March 27, 2025
8:00PM-9:30PM ET


Dr. Mohammad Ahmad Javaid
BDS (UHS), MSc, Dip. Perio, MSc Craniofacial Sciences, FRCDC, DAPB

Management of Complex Cases: Vertical (3D) Bone Regeneration and Soft Tissue Grafting
Moderator:

Over 50% of dental implant cases require bone augmentation. Regeneration of bone, especially vertical and 3-dimensional bone regeneration is technically very difficult, clinically unpredictable and requires precise planning and execution. Similarly soft tissue regeneration, be it around teeth or dental implants, can be a daunting dental procedure. The days of creating keratinized gingiva for optimal tooth and implant health are long gone. Today, the patients expect increased functionality with optimum esthetics. Connective tissue graft is a predictable periodontal plastic surgery procedure that can meet such expectations. It has the potential to deliver premium esthetics with longterm functional stability.

This lecture will help dentist, dental specialists, residents and dental professionals identify hard and soft tissue defects and inadequacies, understand what realistic outcomes can be achieved through bone and soft tissue grafting and how different bone and soft tissue grafting techniques can be used for the management of complex cases.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the thought process in the selection of surgical technique.
2. Understand the potential risks and challenges when performing vertical and 3D bone regeneration.
3. Develop an understanding about the novel use of connective tissue graft in the management of peri-implantitis therapy and bone grafting.
4. See how some challenging cases are managed through the use of autogenous tissue – bone and soft tissue.
