Minimally Invasive Socket Preservation with Atelocollagen Bone Augmentation Material
Dr. Véronique Benhamou

Ridge preservation has been shown to be a successful treatment for maintaining horizontal and vertical ridge dimension after extraction. The simple application of an atelocollagen bone augmentation material into an extraction socket significantly reduces dimensional changes. This procedure is easy and predictable, and it reduces patient morbidity and cost, compared with other techniques that may be needed in the absence of ridge preservation. Various applications of this novel material will be discussed, and cases will be presented to illustrate the recommended surgical technique, case selection and the ease of manipulation of the material.

Use Er:YAG laser for the Peri-implantitis Surface Disinfection: Rationale and Outcome Assessment
Dr. Hom-Lay Wang

The treatment of peri-implantitis defects can be unpredictable and has become a major challenge for many dentists who place implants. Currently, there is no standard protocol available to reliably treat this emerging problem. One of the main challenges is effectively disinfecting the contaminated implant surface to prevent the possibility of re-osseointegration. This presentation will address the characteristics of Er;YAG lasers and how they can be used to assist in the predictable regeneration of peri-implantitis defects.
