Human Histologic Evaluation of Anorganic Bovine Bone Mineral Combined with Recombinant Human Platelet-Derived Growth Factor BB in Maxillary Sinus Augmentation: Case Series Study
The objective of this study was to examine the potential for improved bone regenerative outcomes in maxillary sinus augmentation procedures using platelet-derived growth factor BB and anorganic bovine bone mineral.

Retrospective Evaluation of Crestal Bone Changes Around Implants With Reduced Abutment Diameter Placed Non-Submerged and at Subcrestal Positions: The Effect of Bone Grafting at Implant Placement
One method to measure the success of dental implant treatment is to evaluate marginal peri-implant bone-level changes and stability over time. The location of the fixture–abutment interface (FAI) can be of major importance when the goal is to construct esthetic restorations. In these situations the FAI is often placed in a more apical position to create an ideal emergence profile for the prosthetic construction. However, several animal studies have reported that placement of the FAI in a subcrestal position may result in peri-implant marginal bone loss. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of bone grafting of the defect between the bone crest and the coronal aspect of the implant for implants with reduced abutment diameters placed non-submerged and in subcrestal positions.

The Reconstruction of a "Critical Size" 3D Bone Defect Utilizing the Khoury Bone Plate Technique
Bone defects and bone resorption are a common finding for the clinicians in cases where dental implant therapy is needed. These situations dictates that the defect must be first reconstructed prior to or simultaneously with placing the implants This presentation will focus on a case of a bone resorption in the mandible that will be reconstructed, using only autogenous bone to accommodate a future functional implant supported restoration.

Innovative Technique for Ridge Augmentation Using SonicWeld RX Rigid Resorbable Barrier System - Part 5 of 5
Dr. Gerhard Iglhaut describes the science as well as the step-by-step techniques for utilizing an innovative new resorbable rigid membrane and fixation system for ridge augmentation.

The Bone Reduction Template Used for Simultaneous Implant Placement and Immediate Restoration
Dr. Ganz harnesses the full power of CT Scan technology and interactive treatment planning software to fabricate a template to sufficiently reduce a knife-edge ridge, followed by immediate restoration in one visit.

Biologic Strategies to Enhance Clinical and Aesthetic Success in Oral Implantology
This webinar will discuss clinical strategies for treatment of the complex implant site involving bone grafting and implant placement. Our understanding of cellular pathways, and our ability to control the wound response, expands our capacity to effect better aesthetic outcomes and compress treatment time. The reduction of the inflammatory phase of tissue regeneration speeds up osseointegration, prevents crestal bone loss, maintains papillary form, increases the density of peri-implant bone and increases tissue biotype. This enhanced tissue response allows us to predictably treat even the most complex surgical cases, compress time to final reconstruction, and to maintain these favorable tissue outcomes over an extended period of time. The use of dental implants with advanced biologic features and the incorporation autologous growth factors will be demonstrated.

The Wonderful Bone Regeneration Story: Revolution, Evolution & Evaluation
The last thirty years have given Clinicians the opportunity to be witness of the wonderful Bone Regeneration Story. The amazing function of the Periodontal Ligament Fibroblast in the wound healing, the first steps of Guided Tissue Regeneration and later the evolution to Guided Bone Regeneration and Implant Therapy, have been Revolutions in our daily practice and becomes landmarks for a whole generation of dentists

The Modern Age of Regeneration: Tenting, Fixating and Space Creation
Regeneration requires a common biological thread for predictable results. Space Maintenance, Graft Stability, Bone Biologics, and Wound Management. This presentation will describe the importance of each critical step in regeneration and introduce a new technical system to assist the surgeon in managing and stabilizing the space required for optimal bone regeneration. Flap design, release, biologics selection and enhancement as well as bone stabilization, fixation, and secure membrane adaptation will be further highlighted as to it's critical value in the final results.
