Hands-on Course Dr. Thomas Hanser in Poland 2011:
Advanced Bone Block Augmentation Procedures
Interdisciplinary treatment modalities available today allow the clinicians to address
implant aesthetic and functional issues with increasing predictability. To more
predictably achieve optimal aesthetic results, new and innovative surgical hard and
soft tissue enhancement techniques will be introduced. In addition, the biological and
clinical factors that allow accelerate and successful bone transplant healing for
predictable implant osseointegration by increasing the number of regenerated and
vital osteocytes in the grafted area are outlined. Several of hard and soft tissue
augmentation procedures, including lateral and vertical reconstruction techniques,
are shown.
Above all the soft tissue management remains an important factor for natural
aesthetic outcome and for the good healing of the grafted area. Early exposure of the
transplanted bone by wound dehiscence is detrimental to the final result jeopardizing
the possibility to place the implant in the anatomically correct position. Passive and
tension-free soft tissue closure and the use of innovative techniques e.g. pediculed
palatal connective tissue flap or tunnel technique are playing an important role to
reduce complications. The use of various flap designs and soft tissue augmentation
techniques can help to get satisfaction with the aesthetic result.
The emphasis will be on the clinical management and understanding of the biological
factors that influence aesthetic hard and soft tissue treatment outcomes by
demonstrating clinical cases and numerous videos in addition to the practical aspects
of the hands-on exercises.
