"State-of-the-art of autogenous bone augmentation"
Dr. Frank Zastrow
(VIRTUAL)
Abstract: In many cases bone augmentation is needed before implants can be placed. Additionally, the soft tissue management can be decisive factor for the implant success. In all cases, the "Goldstandard" of using autologous bone is in competition with the use of Bone Graft substitutes.
These lectures give insights in the Concept of Biological Bone Augmentation with pure autogenous bone and the Split bone technique by Prof. Khoury. Finally vertical augmentation is still the most challenging topic in the implantologic field and the perfect symbiosis of hard- and soft tissue management needs here to be emphasized. Only when all these parameters come together, reliable results and good long term results of the implantologic work can be achieved for the patient.
