Overview

This advanced course provides an in-depth exploration of alveolar ridge augmentation with a primary focus on Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) as a predictable and effective treatment modality. Participants will gain comprehensive knowledge of bone biology, grafting materials, barrier membranes, and the use of biologics. Clinical decision-making, case selection, and technique optimization will be emphasized to ensure successful outcomes in both horizontal and vertical ridge augmentation procedures.

Learning Objectives

1. Explain why Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is the preferred bone augmentation technique for most clinicians.
2. Identify and compare the different types of
3. bone grafting materials commonly used in ridge augmentation, including their indications and limitations.
4. Describe the various types of barrier membranes (resorbable and non-resorbable) and their roles in successful GBR procedures.
5. Justify the use of biologics in GBR and understand their impact on bone regeneration outcomes.
