Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) and Ridge Augmentation for Implants (Aug 23, 2024)

Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) and Ridge Augmentation for Implants is organized by UCLA School of Dentistry and will be held on Aug 23, 2024 at UCLA School of Dentistry, Los Angeles, California, United States of America.

Description:
Guided Bone Regeneration and Ridge Augmentation have become routine procedures to enhance the functional, biological and aesthetic outcome of dental implants. This course will provide extensive hands-on laboratory exercises on simulated anatomical models and animal models to prepare the participant with the surgical skills necessary to perform GBR. Special attention will be given to the selection of graft materials and membranes based on sound scientific evidence and decades of clinical experience. Participants will also perform exercises on the use of bone tacks and screws.

Learning Topics:
• Diagnosis and treatment planning for GBR and Ridge Augmentation with implants
• Anatomical considerations to guided bone regeneration
• Criteria for appropriate donor bone graft and membrane selection
• Use of 3D imaging in GBR procedures
• Management of complications and post-operative care

Learning Objectives:
• Gain an understanding of diagnosis and treatment planning for GBR and Ridge Augmentation with implants
• Be able to recognize and define anatomical considerations to guided bone regeneration
• Define the criteria for appropriate donor bone graft and membrane selection
• Understand the use of 3D imaging in GBR procedures
• Demonstrate knowledge and understanding on the management of complications and post-operative care
