Alveolar Ridge Preservation for Implant and Pontic Site Development

LOD-249-00

Dr. Barry Bartee

In this presentation Dr. Bartee will discuss the scientific basis for ridge preservation. He will discuss the materials that are available and the pros and cons of each. Dr Bartee will show a technique that he developed using Dense PTFE membrane with and without collagen for the treatment of simple defects, as well as more complex defects. Dr Bartee will also share an approach to treatment planning that is organized, and systematic so that you can have some idea before you start the case of a logical sequential treatment plan that will result in predictability.Release: 11/7/2014 | Expires: 11/7/2017

A GBR Experience Journey with d-PTFE Membranes

LOD-295-00

Dr. Melle Vroom

In the eighties and nineties various regenerative materials have been introduced in the fields of periodontics and Implant dentistry. Many of these materials make use of the principle of guided tissue regeneration (GTR), which also includes guided bone regeneration (GBR). The then used non-resorbable e-PTFE membranes could lead to good results and has shown its efficacy in several studies. A considerable disadvantage of this type of membrane however, was that in case of an exposure of an e-PTFE membrane infections often arose and so this led to a (partial) failure. As literature has reported exposure rates from 15%-50% for this type of membrane, this can be seen as a major complication. The introduction of a “new” non-resorbable d-PTFE membrane will eliminate this disadvantage as this type of membrane is non permeable to bacteria. So in case of an exposure, and assuming the right measures are taken, sufficient amounts of bone can still be regenerated. In this presentation a GBR experience journey through time will be presented. The focus will be on the usage of non-resorbable d-PTFE membranes and the conditions that have to be met to achieve successful GBR outcomes. Various indications are illustrated with clinical cases. Also techniques to simplify fixation of the membrane will be discussed. Furthermore, preliminary results of an ongoing study in which this fixation technique is studied will be presented.

Vertical Augmentation, membrane removal and implant placement

CV-025-02

Dr. Istvan Urban

This high-quality video demonstrates the treatment of a patient with an anterior maxillary vertical ridge defect. The treatment shows the diagnosis, treatment planning and the step for step of the clinical technique vertical augmentation utilizing GBR and autogenous particulated bone graft. Part one of the surgical video demonstrates flap management, chin bone harvest, connective tissue harvest from the palate, Titanium reinforced membrane placement simultaneously with connective tissue graft. Part two of the surgical video demonstrates membrane removal after uneventful healing and implant placement. Part three demonstrates free connective tissue graft procedure to correct the resulted mucogingival distortion.

Vertical ridge augmentation using GBR procedures

LOD-001-07

Dr. Sascha A. Jovanovic

This lecture presents evidence from the literature supporting the use of particulated bone grafts and titanium reinforced Gore-Tex membranes for predictable vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation. A step-by-step clinical demonstration of the necessary elements to improve the successrate with this very powerful regeneration procedure. Diagnosis, indications, medications, flap design, bone harvesting site, membrane management and fixation and soft tissue release and suturing will be discussed in detail. Possible complications and their treatment are presented.
