Abstract

Evidence-Based Alternatives for Autogenous Grafts: Outcomes, Attachment and Stability

The ability to predictably treat gingival defects with grafts has been one of the cornerstones of periodontal therapy over the past quarter century. During this time, surgical techniques have been refined and modified to become less invasive and more esthetic. This program will review and contrast alternatives for autogenous grafts as they relate to clinical outcomes, patient based outcomes, root surface attachment and long-term stability.

Education Objectives:

• State the objectives and goals for gingival augmentation
• Compare the various techniques and how they differ with the respect to the goals of soft tissue augmentation
• List advantages of live-cell devices, growth factors and biologically-based devices

Abstract

Evidence Based Material Selection for Hard and Soft Tissue Regeneration and Dental Implant Therapy

With all of the biomaterials available to the clinical today, it is helpful to apply an evidence based approach to assist us with the rapidly changing market place and legitimacy of new products. Tissue engineering and biomimetic materials are not new but still have not seen a broad spectrum of use in clinical practice. What are next steps?

This lecture will review the evidence based approach, classic and current research on the topic and how we can apply innovations to our everyday use. Comparisons to the gold standard of autogenous tissues will be utilized to draw some conclusions related to clinical outcomes, patient reported outcomes and long-term tissue stability.

Education Objectives:

• Understand new clinical and histological evidence for periodontal and extraction site/sinus augmentation
• Review of long-term clinical outcomes
• Evaluation of current trends in tissue engineering, advanced technology and comprehensive care
