Regenerative Biomaterials for Restoration of Alveolar Ridge Atrophy
Speakers: Homa H Zadeh (USA), Pascal Valentini (France), Shahram Ghanaati (Germany), Sung Tae Kim (South Korea), Young Dan Cho (South Korea)
Alveolar Ridge Preservation (ARP) has been interceded to prevent significant alveolar bone atrophy after tooth extraction. In healed atrophic sites, Alveolar Ridge Augmentation will be necessary to restore bone volume. In the posterior maxilla, sinus augmentation is a strategy to regenerate adequate bone for implant therapy. There are a variety of protocols and biomaterial for each of these procedures. This is a continuous series of forum from last EAO 2023, and the panelist will deliver further updates of the biomaterials in selection of each case. The experts assembled in this session will discuss choices of biomaterial, protocols and outcomes that will be helpful for clinicians to avoid and manage alveolar ridge atrophy.
