| Guided
Tissue Regeneration Can Save Endo-perio Compromised Cases. |
| Ari
Gold, D.D.S., D.ENDO, F.R.C.D.(C), Toronto, Ontario |
 |
Guided
Tissue Regeneration (GTR) can promote or guide the proliferation
of periodontal ligament cells and attachments onto denuded
root surfaces. The use of a biocompatible, resorbable
membrane provides for the extensive regeneration of the
attachment apparatus without the interference of faster
regenerating epithelial cells. This is a form of selective
cell repopulation. The use of DFDBA (Demineralized Freeze
Dried Bone Allograft) materials can add an osteoconductive
and osteoinductive component to facilitate the bone regeneration
process...

| Maxillary
Antroplasty with Augmentation Bone Grafting and Immediate
Implant Placement. |
| Dr.
Blake Nicolucci, Cert. ABOI, Fellow AAID, Fellow ICD, London,
Ontario |
 |
Sinus
elevations are an accepted treatment modality to provide
sufficient vital bone for the fixation of dental implants.
Many edentulous posterior maxillas are subject to alveolar
ridge resorption and increased pneumatization of the
sinus. The classical sinus elevation with simultaneous
implant placement is indicated where there is adequate
ridge height and volume to achieve primary stability
of the implants...

| Autogenous
Bone Graft Harvesting for Implant Dehiscence Defect. |
| Dr.
Doug-Seok Sohn, Associate Professor, Chair Department of Oral
and Maxillofacial Surgery
Daegu Catholic University Hospital, Daegu, South Korea |
 |
While
autogenous bone remains the "Gold Standard" for
many implant related hard tissue grafting cases, there
remains several drawbacks related to typical harvesting
procedures. Patient dependant factors such as anatomical
differences limiting access and poor bone quality cannot
be controlled, yet there are several tools and techniques
available to the dental clinician to help reduce donor
site morbidity and surgical harvesting time... |

| Maxillary
Reconstruction using a Mixture of Autogenous Bone and DynaGraft
Putty. |
| Richard
C. Bell, DMD, M Sc, FRCD (C), Private practice, Kelowna,
British Columbia |
 |
Maxillary
and mandibular osseous reconstruction is often necessary
to aid the prosthetic rehabilitation of many types of
patients. These include post-traumatic, atrophic and
post-ablative defects. In these as well as other guided
bone regeneration procedures, readily available and predictable
materials can expand the surgeon's choices in treatment
planning. As the following Case Report indicates, a mixture
composed of autogenous bone and DynaGraft Putty demineralized
bone matrix (DBM) in a reverse phase medium, (Citagenix
Inc. Montreal, Quebec) has shown promise for use in horizontal
maxillary alveolar ridge reconstruction...

| Implant
Placement with Simultaneous Guided Bone Regeneration. |
| Dr.
Steven Faigan, Certified Specialist in Periodontics, Kelowna,
British Columbia |
 |
Endosseous
dental implants are a predictable modality of tooth replacement
that can improve the dental health and quality of life
for many people. However, there is often inadequate bone
to receive and support implants. This can be the result
of trauma, periodontal disease, endodontic infection,
postextraction ridge defects, disuse atrophy, etc. Therefore,
guided bone regenerative procedures (GBR) have evolved
to be an integral and predictable component of implant
dentistry, either in preparation for, or in conjunction
with, implant placement...
