PAID: Practical Approaches and Scientific Rationale for Bone Augmentation in Implant Dentistry

BONE Appetit

PAID 4th Scientific Seminar

Sept. 27, 2023 Wednesday

EHO 8:30 am - 3:00 pm

Casa Ibarra, MOA Complex,

Pasay City

Dr. Paresh Kale, MDS- Prosthodontics

Practical Approaches and Scientific Rationale for Bone Augmentation in Implant Dentistry

Alveolar Bone deficiencies can prevent ideal prosthetically driven implant placement and jeopardize the treatment plan. To add to poor bone quality, anatomical structures such has the maxillary sinus presents unique challenges to clinicians for getting adequate bone volume for Implant placement.

Augmentation of bone around implants is thus often necessary for comprehensive and aesthetic outcomes. Clinicians need to choose from an array of procedures such as preservation of alveolar ridge, sinus elevation procedures, ridge augmentation with bone grafts prior to or simultaneous with implant placement.

This one-day course on practical approaches and scientific rationale for bone augmentation in implant dentistry aims to equip dental professionals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to tackle complex cases involving compromised bone structure.

Abstract

Precision or Personalised Periodontal Care - Periodontics through the looking glass

Gregory J Seymour

Over the past 50 years a greater understanding of both the aetiology and the immune mechanisms underlying chronic periodontal disease has emerged. However, most clinicians would argue that these advances have had little impact on treatment planning and treatment modalities. Although plaque control has remained the backbone of periodontal treatment, a variety of surgical techniques have evolved independently of underlying disease pathogenesis. Nevertheless, as clinical practice in the 21st century shifts towards “Precision or Personalised Care” assessment of the individual host response to a dysbiosis in the oral microbiome will become fundamental and it will be important to have an in depth understanding of the mechanisms controlling disease progression and how these impact on personalised treatment approaches. Equally, it is recognised that an understanding of the risk factors for chronic periodontitis is essential for successful periodontal treatment and in avoiding implant failure. In this context, the recent classification of periodontal disease has included a staging and grading of disease to reflect not only the individual response to plaque, in terms of extent and severity, but also to reflect the impact of environmental and systemic factors. It is now generally believed that unravelling the complexities of the interaction between bacterial, genetic and environmental (epigenetic) factors will lead to enhanced individual risk profiling and more targeted treatment in the future. At the same time the relationship between periodontal infection and systemic diseases is also generally accepted with significant implications for general dentists. This presentation will ‘look’ at how this increased understanding of disease mechanisms will impact on ‘Precision’ or ‘Personalised’ treatment approaches now and in the future."

Abstract:
​Periodontal-Restorative issues are common problems when planning treatment for patients.  The decision to retain or extract teeth due to periodontal reasons may affect patient choices or may deter the clinician from completing an ideal treatment plan.  The aim of this workshop is to enhance the skills of the clinician in decision making, especially when teeth are periodontally involved.  Cases will be assigned to participants where a discussion of the cases will bring about ideal and alternative treatment plans.
