Managing Dentoalveolar Ridge Defects for Implant Site Development: An Interdisciplinary Approach

Managing Dentoalveolar Ridge Defects for Implant Site Development: An Interdisciplinary Approach is organized by Dental Learning Systems, LLC and will be held from Sep 01, 2018 - Sep 30, 2021.

The target audience for this medical event is for Dentists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 2.00 Self Study Credits.

Description:
This article presents the interdisciplinary management of a severe alveolar ridge defect to enable optimal implant placement and minimally invasive dentistry for an optimal functional and esthetic outcome. To attain the best esthetic and biologic results for implant placement, an interdisciplinary approach was used to synergistically combine orthodontics, periodontics, and restorative dentistry to simplify a complex periodontal restorative problem and minimize the procedures required for restoration of maximal esthetics and function. The case in this report illustrates the steps in a collaborative approach, resulting in a treatment plan that was executed to achieve near-optimal results.

Learning Objectives:
• Understand how interdisciplinary management can minimize complex procedures
• Discuss how orthodontics used for distraction osteogenesis can minimize ridge defects for bone grafting
• Recognize how idealizing bony architecture can maximize esthetics

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
