Ridge Preservation: Still the Name of the Game. Use of Atelocollagen Plug for Predictable Bone Regeneration

Implants have become a routine procedure in our treatment modalities to recover from missing teeth. Adequate amount of alveolar bone is needed for predictable long term implant success. The challenge may start at the time of tooth extraction. The presentation will focus on the use of Atelocollagen plug to preserve the alveolar ridge at time of extraction. Clinical cases showing the use of Atelocollagen bone augmentation plugs following tooth extraction will be illustrated. The results of histological study and clinical experience will be shown. The histological sections will show active bone regeneration and presence of endogenous bone growth factors. In addition, the ease of application and the expeditiously maneuvers of both the surgeon and the dental assistant will be elucidated. The results will indicate the safety and predictability of the use, including flapless procedures for both the extraction and the bone augmentation procedures.

The Role of Lasers for the Treatment of Peri-implantitis

Peri-implant complication is a forever growing issue in our clinical practice. What methods and materials can we trust to recuperate a failing implant?  The purpose of this lecture is to identify different etiologies for peri-implantitis and to establish a classification system based on the different characteristics of the present disease. This presentation will also cover the surgical management of peri-implantitis utilizing various methods to detoxify implant surfaces for the grafting of hard and soft tissues.

Objectives
1) Recognition of the etiology that causes peri-implantitits
2) Understand a decision making protocol for unhealthy implants
3) Step by step surgical management of soft and hard tissues for the ailing implant
4) Decontamination and predictable bone grafting around infected dental implants
