Bone augmentation with state of the art biomaterilas – Possibilities and limitations

Several bone augmentation techniqes have been described in the literature for the past decades. Starting from highly invasive procedures using solely autogenous bone, today we have far more opportunities with the use of evidence based biomaterilas. Patients demands are today for less number of surgical procedures, shorter overall healing time, and definitely less invasiveness! Can we achive that without compromising high predictability? When and how do state of the art biomaterilas let us achieve these goals, and where might still be there limitations? How can we make a 2 stage bone augmentation procedure into 1 stage?
This lecture and hands-on course will cover some of the techniqes for bone augmentation in advanced horizontal bone resorption situatiuons and will provide answer on the questions above.
