Ridge Atrophy Treatment Concepts utilizing Osseodensification in order to enable the practitioner an immediate restorative solution
Dental Implants had become an optimal solution for replacing missing teeth. Long term studies validate this treatment option in single as well as complete edentulous patients.
Bone resorption sometimes makes implant placement a difficult task both in anterior as well as posterior regions demanding advanced surgical regenerative procedures. In some situations it requires long term treatment with an unpredictable prognosis. Providing the patient with a fixed restorative temporary solution might sometimes be almost impossible.
The presentation will focus on the concept of using new innovative treatment approaches as well as unconventional surgical manipulations dealing with the atrophic ridge.
The new concept of “osseodensification” will be presented enabelling the clinician to preserve existing bone and enhance the outcome through a minimal invasive approach.
Osseodensification will enable the clinician to achieve higher primary implant stability and providing the patient with an immediate load temporary solution.
An emphasis will be made on the team approach required for these types of treatments working closely with the dental lab regarding digital treatment plan and immediate loading protocols.
