Bone grafting can be confusing. A multiplicity of techniques exists to regenerate bone around teeth (GTR) and in preparation for successful dental implant therapy (GBR). Ideal bone regeneration and wound healing is dependent upon choosing the proper surgical technique and correct combination of bone graft material, growth factor, and barrier membrane. A bone grafting algorithm that leads to consistent success will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
Explore the types of bone grafts available
Examine the value of a barrier membrane and how to use it
Learn about the use of growth factors in bone grafting success and how to combine and time grafting to achieve predictable success around teeth
